Adding zeros to a character string
Hello friends,
I want to add leading zeros for a field.
the field is a character string.
for example ,
data: A(5) type c.
now when A = 'ab' (non-numeric value)
i want this to be converted in '000ab'
so, is there any standard Function module or any other way for doing this conversion ?
I tried the FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' but this FM does not work for non-numeric inputs..
Thanks.
Hi,
The packed field is transported right-justified to the character field, if required with a
decimal point. The first position is reserved for the sign. Leading zeros appear as
blanks. If the target field is too short, the sign is omitted for positive numbers. If this is still not sufficient, the field is truncated on the left. ABAP indicates the truncation with an asterisk (*). If you want the leading zeros to appear in the character field, use UNPACK instead of MOVE.
UNPACK
Converts variables from type P to type C.
Syntax
UNPACK <f> TO <g>.
Unpacks the packed field <f> and places it in the string <g> with leading zeros. The opposite of PACK.

Checkbox Item: character string buffer too small (APEX 4.0. - 4.2.)
Hi all,
I'm currently running the Oracle Application Express 4.0.2 on the Oracle DB 11g and thinking about the APEX upgrading to current 4.2. version. We have there quite big application used by the inernal employees so prior I need to test, if the migration will work.
I installed the new server with database and the APEX 4.2. and import the current application. Everything seems to working good except few checkboxes, which returns me the error: "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small."
LOV (Source) Code of Checkbox Item:
SELECT email as display_value, id as return_value
FROM users
WHERE <some conditions>;
In the current version 4.0.2. I get the checkbox item (total count of the rows approx. 650), but in the 4.2. I get this "string buffer too small" error and the page could not be rendered (if I add to the same query limitation: "rownum<242" it will display the item).
Could you please help me with this issue? Any idea, what I should set up in the new APEX to get the same results or you see there any limitation, why it does not work in the new version, but in the old version the same SQL works fine?
Thank you all in advance.

Why you are hitting this limit in the new instance may be due to differences in data or the database configuration (e.g. character set) rather than changes introduced in APEX.
Is the data exactly the same? Is the database configuration the same? When you limit the number of rows so the checkboxes are displayed and view the page source, is there any difference in the HTML used to render the checkbox form elements between the two versions?
That said, from a usability perspective 650 LOV options is rather a lot, and your application may very well outgrow this limit naturally in any version of APEX as more users as added. It is probably worthwhile thinking about other ways to display these options. -

Error in notification - "character string buffer too small"
Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing great...
I have issue with one of the procedure which sends out status email for the reports. Below is the code.
It worked fine from last six months but today it failed because of the length of characters (more reports are added).
The variable "l_an_report" is VARCHAR and it has crossed it limit so gave the below error. Not sure how to handle the report so that it includes all the data.
Also please let me if this is good solution :- Have the report status in excel sheet and attach to the email.
If its fine please let me know how i can achieve this and any prerequisite from network team we need to get?

Listener Error - character string buffer too small (ORA-06502)
I am running into a very strange problem with the APEX listener on seemingly random pages. I can hit every page in my application just fine, but as soon as I hit this specific one, Glassfish throws an HTTP 500 error. If I click Debug, the page seems to load fine with no indications of trouble, but as soon as I turn debug back off, it goes back to the HTTP 500 error. I don't see anything special about the page that makes this happen. It is pretty simple and has 4 regions. I have noticed that if I set any 1 of the 4 regions to "Never display", the page loads fine. It's like having all 4 of them enabled at once are causing some overload, even though it's actually a smaller amount of data than most of my other pages.
**Update: I just discovered this only happens if I'm logged into the workspace first and then try to run the page! If I log out of APEX and then hit the application as a normal user, page loads error-free. This is still an annoying problem, but at least it seems I have a decent workaround since regular users never see it.
After a couple days, I noticed the exact same problem on a second APEX application I'm using. Again, it is on some random page whereas all the other pages work fine.
Both applications and pages in question worked without issue in APEX 3.x. I am trying to get an APEX application up and running on the latest version.
I have tried both Glassfish server and simply downloading the latest listener (version 1.1.1) and running it in standalone mode. I get the problem both ways, which is why it seems it's a listener issue.
I have seen a few other threads of people having this problem, but I never did find anyone with a solution, and most of the posts stopped back in December.
Some details on my environment:
Database version: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
APEX version: 4.0.2
Webserver: Glassfish 3.1
Here is the log entry from Glassfish when the HTTP 500 error displays as I try to load one of the bugged pages.

Edited by: BrianB on May 11, 2011 7:50 AM
Edited by: BrianB on May 11, 2011 8:01 AMBrian,
this post is going to get a bit longer, so the summary comes first.
h6. Summary
1. I could reproduce the problem on my system using the APEX Listener in standalone mode.
2. I don't think the problem is content-related in the sense that you have any issue in your page or database contents.
3. I have a workaround for your problem.
h6. Error message
Having that error in my environment made me start to think. I not only disabled some item and got it work, but I could also add something to achieve this effect.
So I came to think, this really is somewhere deep down. The error message doesn't seem very helpful on first sight, but when starting to follow on what's happening there, things get clearer:
APEX generates pages dynamically, replacing substitution strings and other tokens to get the actual page definition. This has to be read by a requesting client. The use of VARCHAR2 as buffer introduces a limit of 32767 bytes, after which the contents is handled as CLOB instead.
h6. Analysis
Obviously, there are cases where the "estimation" fails. Of course, this is may only be relevant in rare cases, because:
1. If a page would exceed the maximum without some charset interpretation problem, the buffer would be switched to clob.
2. If a page stays small enough to stay below 32767 even with some characters that are acutally larger then expected, the buffer isn't busted.
To find out, if your could be one of these rare cases, I investigated the HTTP headers, focussing on X-DB-Content-length and made an odd observation.
Test case 1: "Go" button disabled, so the page runs fine with APEX Listener
1. It has *31968 bytes* when coming from APEX Listener with a Go button disabled.
2. It has *31938 bytes* according to the header set by EPG - for exactly the same page.
That makes a difference of 30 bytes for what is expected to be the same contents.
Test case 2: The button is enabled again
1. This causes the page load to crash in APEX Listener.
2. EPG transports *32341 bytes* according to that header.
So we are pretty close to the hard limit for the VARCHAR2 buffer.
For some reason, APEX Listener seems to cause a false calculation of the actual page size. Whether this is due to some charset problem or due to some other problem with response handling, I don't know. The 30 bytes difference may result from the odd header "X-ORACLE-IGNORE" with value "IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE" sent by the APEX Listener. This value has exactly 30 bytes in length, but this could be coincidence, as there are more differences in headers. If I add the size of all headers, we are even closer to the buffer limit and probably exceed it when some items need more bytes than expected.
This could even be as simple as a line break, as your page has about 424 lines when I disabled the button... Adding 1 byte per line to the 32341 bytes of the EPG, I get 32765 bytes. Now add that button (403 bytes difference on EPG) and you exceeed the limit. Reduce that value by the line count again and you are still below.
Could be coincidence as well, but makes me wonder.
h6. Workaround
To make sure that we were actually hitting that limit, I now introduce my suggestion for a workaround.
Test case 3: Add a hidden item
1. APEX Listener loads the page, stating the size to be *32876 bytes*
2. EPG sees 30 bytes less and transmits the header with *32846 bytes*
h6. Conclusion
I can't give you a real solution for that problem, nor do I have a definitive answer on what is the root cause for it. It seems, only one of the developers may find it. But I can offer you a workaround, which is to just add some hidden item to your page so it exceeds the limit for the VARCHAR2 buffer and gets handled as clob.
Note that this may occur outside the app builder as well. The app builder just renders some additional items when starting that page, so it has a different size from its productive representation. On the other hand, I may start counting the size of that additional page section - I wouldn't wonder if that results in a value around 400 bytes, and this is the forgotten part...
Unfortunately, if it actually is happening outside of the app builder, this workaround isn't very handy: Dynamic contents can't be calculated that easy all the time, so you may have cases where you just don't know in advance if you are close to the limit and have to add some item to exceed it or if you've already exceeded it or if you are far below, or close enough to actually hit it when adding just one byte...

ORA-06502 character string buffer too small error
We trying to insert a string of more then 500 character from our VB.net application (uses ODP.net), its giving ORA-06502 character string buffer too small error.
Kindly help us on this.
OS version: AIX 5.1 (IBM/AIX RISC System/6000)
Oracle Database version: 9.2.0.1.0Just for reference and to close the loop, I found the fix to this problem (quite by accident).
The problem turned out to be a bug in the apex listener, which in some cases ended up doing a divide by zero, which caused the problem.
This is listed as a known bug, and a fixed listener is available.
Once I installed the fixed listener, problem solved! -
"Character String Buffer too small" Classic Report Apex 3.2.1
Hello Everyone,
I know it is very old version I am discussing here but that is what we have in our environment, would really appreciate if anyone can help out.
I have a classic report with the below query, in this I have added a filter using a select list item (P70_GROUP).
SELECT vws.ServerID AS Display_ID, vws.ServerID AS ID, vws.Hostname, vws.ServerStatus, vws.SiteName AS Site, vws.Client, vws.CoreHours, vws.Patch_Notes, vws.PATCH_DEP, vws.Patch_Day, vws.PATCH_GROUPID, vws.PATCH_TIMEID AS Time FROM VW_Live_Support vws LEFT JOIN W_Patch_Groups wpg ON (vws.Patch_GroupID = wpg.ID) WHERE vws.Deleteable = 'N' AND NVL(wpg.Ignore, 'N') = 'N' AND ((:P70_GROUP > 1 AND vws.PATCH_GROUPID = :P70_GROUP) OR (:P70_GROUP = 1 AND vws.Patch_GroupID IS NULL) OR (NVL(:P70_GROUP,0) = 0)) AND ( INSTR(UPPER(vws.HostName), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.HostName))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.ServerStatus), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.ServerStatus))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.SiteName), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.SiteName))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.Client), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.Client))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.CoreHours), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.CoreHours))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.Patch_Notes), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.Patch_Notes))) > 0 )
Issue is when i select a group from the list I am getting
"report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
one unusual thing I have noticed here is when I select "All Groups" which returns 0, it is running fine and returning 3700 rows but when I select any group which returns some 10-20 rows I am getting the above error.
can't understand why this is, please help me out.

Thanks alot for your prompt response
Let me add some more into the issue I forgot to add.
It is somewhat similar to what Michael has mentioned in his first post.
Above said report is a Tabular form and there are 3 select lists in it out of which one list is too long (Group list), when I hide it report works for all the groups.
That should have been made clear in the original post. Reports and tabular forms are not the same thing. There's much more that can go wrong on tabular forms, including hitting the LOV size limit of 32KB for a select list item. (Obviously if you hit this limit for a single item then you've automatically hit it the report row limit as well.)
I have explained them about the LOV that when we remove that LOV it works fine but they need that list because it is a updatable value.
As suggested by Michael, I have tried Substr, which also works fine for all the groups.
I would suggest client to have a short name of the groups and use it as a temporary solution.
You should use a Pop-up LOV control for large lists of options. Purely as a usability consideration—irrespective of APEX implementation limits—select lists should only be used in cases where there are a maximum of around 200 options.
Regarding Debugging: I am not getting that option when I run the application as a developer, checked the application properties Debugging option is selected as Yes, don't know why it is not available.
That's not connected to this problem. Open a new thread on that topic if you want to investigate and fix it.
One more confirmation from you guys please, I have also suggested them to upgrate the environment to the latest version, hoping this will resolve the issue, please confirm?
In the latest version also we have same size (32KB) limit or it has been increased?
The 32KB limits for select lists and report rows are not documented but are still present in APEX 4.2 (and in APEX 5.0 to the best of my current knowledge). -
Removing Null values from character string
Hi All,
Can i remove NULL values (hexadecimal - 0000) from character string. I am uploading a file from presentation layer (shared server) and getting NULL values in many fields which i want to remove.
please assist.
Thanks for you help..

MohaiyuddinHi,
Most likely, nobody needed it, but if anybody in future will need the solution for related problem - here's solution:
data: lv_nullchar type xstring value '0'.
shift lv_xstring right deleting trailing lv_nullchar in byte mode.
shift lv_xstring left deleting leading lv_nullchar in byte mode.
This hack deleting null chars in lv_xstring at end file and at begining of file. Works perfect for me, where i also worked with files. -

Edited by: Purvik on Aug 25, 2009 11:59 AMThere is not a chance in the world, especially not knowing column definitions that I, and I suspect most anyone else, is going to wade through this much unformated code looking for an error you couldn't bother to copy in full.
Either tell us, specifically, the line on which the error is occurring or, better yet, start whacking stuff out of your code until you find the offending definition. That is certainly what I would do. Commenting out sections is a marvelous way to quickly find an issue.
Before you post again please read the FAQ. It will explain to you how to properly post and use the tags. -
Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string b
I have a form which uses a customer form/report, drop downs etc..
the debug shows it running this statement
...Execute Statement: begin begin SELECT distinct initcap(RTRIM (LTRIM (e.surname, ' *0123456789-/:.?,'), ' *0123456789-/:.?,') || ', ' || RTRIM (LTRIM (e.first_name, ' *0123456789-/:.?,'), ' *0123456789-/:.?,' )) empname, e.ID bulk collect into wwv_flow_utilities.g_display,wwv_flow_utilities.g_value FROM dms.dms_employees@dmsprd e, dms.dms_employee_contracts@dmsprd ec WHERE e.ID = ec.emp_id and e.surname like '%%' AND :p75_date BETWEEN ec.start_date AND NVL (ec.end_date, :p75_date) AND e.brh_id = 3654 ORDER BY 1; end; end;
Then says
"report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small"
Any Ideas?
Thanks

A select list is limited in size. I am not sure what the limit is but that is definitelly the case.The maximum size for the HTML generated for a select list is 32K.
86 options sounds on the low side to be hitting that limit, but there are other concerns to this as well. Scrolling through hundreds/thousands of options in a select list is a pain for users, and huge select lists produce bloated pages that impact load times and network bandwidth. That list of around 200 countries you find on many sites is about the sensible maximum length for a select list.
You should use popups.Indeed. -
Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string bu
We face the above error in HTMLDB (APEX) application Ver 3.1.0. This occurs when we try to display more number of rows/records in drop-down list (LOV in tabular forms). We are able to display 200 records in LOV. When the list of records exceeds 230, we face the below error
report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
the values listed in LOV are from tables (one of the columns in table)
Could anyone give us a solution?Hi
As you are using a tabular form, you could actually do the following:
1 - In the tabular form column's attributes, set the following:
Display as: Select List (query based on LOV)
Display extra values: Yes
List of values definition: SELECT null d, null r FROM DUAL
2 - Add a new page item and set it to generate your select list
3 - Create an HTML region with no template and use the following for its source:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadList(c, l)
var s = document.getElementsByName(c);
var lItem = document.getElementById(l);
var lLength = lItem.options.length;
var k;
var j;
var x = lItem.innerHTML;
var v;
var o;
var z;
for (k = 0; k < s.length; k++)
z = s[k];
v = z.value;
z.options.length = 0;
for (j = 0; j < lLength; j++)
o = new Option()
o.value = lItem[j].value;
o.text = lItem[j].text;
z.options[j] = o;
z.value = v;
if (z.selectedIndex == -1)
z.selectedIndex = 0;
loadList("f05", "P1_MGR");
</script>
(Change "f05" and "P1_MGR" as appropriate to your column and your new page item respectively)
Now, when you load the page, the select list contains a null entry plus the entry already on the database. The javascript kicks in automatically, loops through every entry in the "f05" column, copies the existing value, replaces the select list with the new page item version and sets its value to the copied value.
Your new page item could be in a DIV tag that has a style of "display:none" to hide it from view.

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string
Hi experts,
I'm trying running a query in Microsoft Query but it gives the following error message:
"conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"
when asks me the data I'm inserting 31-01-2014
i've copy the query form the forum:

WHERE (T0.MthDate IS NULL OR T0.MthDate > ?) AND T0.RefDate <= ? AND T1.CardType = 'C'
ORDER BY T1.CardCode, T0.DueDate, T0.Ref1Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small In order to try to make the simplest test case possible for this, I then tried entering SQL selecting just from DUAL.
The following SQL fails with the error mentioned above.
SELECT
'wibble' as a
,'wibble' as b
,'wibble' as c
,'wibble' as d
,'wibble' as e
,'wibble' as f
,'wibble' as g
,'wibble' as h
,'wibble' as i

,'wibble' as l

,'wibble' as q
,'wibble' as r
,'wibble' as s
,'wibble' as t
,'wibble' as u
,'wibble' as v
,'wibble' as w
,'wibble' as x
,'wibble' as y
,'wibble' as z
,'wibble' as ab
,'wibble' as ac
,'wibble' as ad
,'wibble' as ae

,'wibble' as am
,'wibble' as an

,'wibble' as ap
,'wibble' as aq
,'wibble' as ar
,'wibble' as at
,'wibble' as au
,'wibble' as av
FROM dualRemoving the last column from this SQL query (bringing the total number of columns down to 45) as follows and then clicking "Test Report" works successfully.
SELECT
'wibble' as a
,'wibble' as b
,'wibble' as c

,'wibble' as ao
,'wibble' as ap
,'wibble' as aq
,'wibble' as ar
,'wibble' as at
,'wibble' as au
FROM dualSo the question is: Is there a hard-coded limit of 45 columns for a Source Query? Or is there something else causing this error message?
(For information in the above example I have "Use Generic Report Layout" selected and the output format set to "PDF")
Thanks very much in advance for any comments or suggestions,
AndyThanks for the suggestion Simon.
I just created a view based on the 46-column SELECT statement from dual above and then set "SELECT * FROM myview" as the Source Query.
Unfortunately I get exactly the same error.
Thanks,

I have a table-valued function that run in sql 2005 and when try to execute in sql 2008 r2, return the next "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".

ENDYou can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.
