Character to number convertion --- APEX Checkbox

Hi ,
I have table column like category here i stored the value as 1:2:3:4 using APEX checkbox.
Now i want to change as 1,2,3,4
i used replace function but its giving the char value only i want to change it as a number.
Can anyone help me out this problem.
Thanks in advance....
cheers,
Shan..

1,2,3 is not a number - it is three numbers so you need an array or a table to store that.
Go to SQL Workshop and create this table:
CREATE TABLE emp_numbers (empno NUMBER);after that run this PL/SQL block and enter 1:2:3:4 for your :p1_emps
DECLARE
   l_vc_arr2   htmldb_application_global.vc_arr2;
BEGIN
   l_vc_arr2 := HTMLDB_UTIL.string_to_table (:p1_emps);
   FOR i IN 1 .. l_vc_arr2.COUNT
   LOOP
      INSERT INTO emp_numbers
                  (empno
           VALUES (l_vc_arr2 (i)
   END LOOP;
END;See what you get inserted into your table.

The oracle application express environment is created by installing the HTTP Server on the windows server and the application express 3.2.1 components on the 11.1.0.7 oracle database on UNIX. The installation is successfully and have not seen any issues during the installation. After completing all the steps, when tried to login and click the application builder or workspace components, I see the error message

I think its better you use APEX 4.x version ratherthan using old version.
You will get more features and some bug fixes and also it's easy for you to get some help when you need.

Error ORA-06502, numeric or value error character to number conversion

I have been trying to create an email including data from a table as part of the body. Whenever I try to send it, I get an error ORA-06502, numeric or value error, character to number conversion. If I take out the part referencing the table, the email will go without error, but if I put it back in I get the error.
There is the code:

This is important to my company to be able to put this data into an email. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Lets isolate the erroring line by running the code in debug mode and adding some debug lines at various stages in the code
Apex has a builtin function named wwv_flow.debug which can print messages to the debug stack and would be visible when the page is run in debug mode.

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Apex so I decided to read and do the tutorials that are on the apex.oracle.com site.
Now I am at the tutorial 6: How to Work with Check Boxes of the Advanced Tutorials.
At a certain point you have to add a new radio button.
At the Item Source Value you have to add SELECT 'Y' FROM DUAL WHERE :P2_LIST_PRICE*0.75=:P2_MIN_PRICE.
But when I try to create the item, I keep getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
Error creating item.
Does anybody know what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

OPEN emp_refcur
FOR p_query_string USING p_branch_code,v_p_PERIOD_NAME,v_p_PERIOD_NAME,v_p_PERIOD_NAME;

Here I m passing a string variable to pass the select statement for the ref cursor.
There seems some problem in the substr conversion in the statement.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
But when i run as a independent staement passing real values in the place of placeholders
i get the result right.
The *:PERIOD_NAME* format is *'Jan-2009-10'* .
And I need to pass the *:PERIOD_NAME* to the query as *'Jan-09-10'*
Pls suggest.

I am using oracle db 10g, apex 3.2.1
Thanks

Hi,
I am guessing that apex_application.g_f05 is a date field. If that is the case, you need to use to_date() before using to_char(). For example:
SELECT to_char('01-jan-10', 'MON') FROM dual -- Error!
SELECT to_char(to_date('01-jan-10'), 'MON') FROM dual -- Ok!
I hope this helps.

Numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

I'm having problems inserting a value from a date picker field (DD-MON-YYYY HH MI )
i'm submitting this value to a packaged procedure that accepts this field as VARCHAR2 .
on the insert, i do a to_date( P_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM' )
and i get the numeric conversion error.
If I change the to_date on the procedure side, I get the :could not read the end of the format mask - which I've found threads about on this site.
I've tried using HH24 and different formats, but I get one of the two above errors on the insert.
If I don't fill in the datepicker field at all, it works fine.
help is appreciated !
Bill

Re: Error, numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

Can someone please please tell me why I'm getting this error and what I'm doing wrong? It looks like a simple error, "numeric or value error: character to number conversion error".
My code is as follows:
string connectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DEMO_TEST"].ConnectionString;
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(connectionString);
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("DEMO.PKG_LOCATION_TYPE.INS", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

Are the parameters in your procedure in the same order as they are created in this code? Oracle command works by position unless you change it to be BindByName.
Failing that you seem to have defined a parameter (P_NAME) to have a length of 6, and are then setting it's value to a string with a length of 9.
Also the in/output parameter is defined as type decimal. Is this correct? It is defined as InputOutput but you don't assign it any value.
If these suggestions don't help then perhaps if you post the stored procedure you might get some more ideas.

PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error in TRG

Hi,
I've got strange issue with one trigger which during update of table reports (DB is 9.2.0.8):
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at "UDR_LOG", line 345
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'UDR_LOG'but line 345 is:
END IF;
so its kind of strange
the code looks like
343 IF nvl(to_char(:old.PKD_ID),'''') <> nvl(to_char(:new.PKD_ID),'''') THEN
344 v_zmn := v_zmn || 'PKD_ID''' || to_char(:old.PKD_ID) || '''' || to_char(:new.PKD_ID) || '''';
345 END IF;
so its concatenation not to_number usage .error is triggered by update statement on any column .
I'm sorry I cant provide You with whole trigger code .
So if You could only recommend any investigation method that would be great .
Regards
Greg

Hi, Greg,
When there's an error in a trigger, the line numbers in the error messages are relative to the first DECLARE or BEGIN statement; often, that's a few lines after CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER. Post a few lines after what you already posted.
If you can't find the error, then create another table for testing this, and create a smaller trigger on that table, which does only enough to cause the error. Then you'll be able to post the complete trigger, and the code needed to re-create the problem.

Only INVALID_NUMBER exception is handled and also VALUE_ERROR should be handeled. You can resolve it by handling VALUE_ERROR exception or by adding WHEN OTHERS as I did in following example.
SQL> create or replace FUNCTION to_number_or_null (
2      aiv_number in varchar2 )
3      return number is
4     /*

10     return to_number(aiv_number);
11     exception
12     when INVALID_NUMBER then
13      return NULL;
14     when OTHERS then
15      return null;
16     end to_number_or_null;

How can if find the most repeated character and number ???

Hi,
I have a question. For instance, if we have a text file which contains:
aaabbbhhhhhhtttttsjs12366
How can i find the most repeated character and number. I have to add this code to the following program:
I will aprreciate if you can help.
Regards,
Serkan
import java.io.*;
public class LineLen {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
          final String filename = "deneme1.txt";
          BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
          String line = infile.readLine();
          int linenum = 0;
          while (line != null) {
               int len = line.length();
               linenum++;
               System.out.print(linenum + "\t");
               for (int i = 0; i<len; i++)
               System.out.print("*");
               System.out.println("");
               line = infile.readLine();
}

For a small alphabet like English, array migt be used:
//in a for loop
++array[s.charAt(i)];For a big alphabet like chinese, HashMap might be barely used:
map.put(s.charAt(i), increment(map.get(s.charAt(i))));
// increment is a user defined method, possibly for an Integer object,
// that returns a new Integer object

PL/SQL Character to date convertion issue

Dear all,
I encounter an issue with character to date convertions in PL/SQL.
The following is a short description:
I use an Oracle DBMS 8i and the problem is a wrong insertion of a date value to a column table.
The date value is retrieved from a table and is type of VARCHAR2(240). Then a convertion to the DATE type takes place and this value (date) is inserted to another table column of type DATE.
For example if the date retrieved as VARCHAR2 is '21/05/2003' the value inserted is '21/5/0003'.
The convertion is made by the following portion of code:
dateVariable Date := NULL:
dateStringVariable is retrieved from the db and is type of VARCHAR2(240)
DATE_FORMAT is a string retireved from the db with value equals to 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
dateVariable := TO_DATE(dateStringVariable, DATE_FORMAT);
Then the dateVariable is inserted to a recordSet which in turn is the one inserted to the db.
My guess is that the problem is during the char to date convertion.
I wonder if anyone knows what produces this error.
Any suggestion is welcome.
With regards

SQL> desc t
Name Null? Type
DATE# DATE
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-RR';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
no rows selected
SQL> insert into t values(to_date('21/05/2003','DD/MM/YYYY'));
1 row created.Now Oracle keeps correct date - 21th of May 2003.
How you display it depends on your NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings:
SQL> select * from t;
DATE#
21-MAY-03
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
DATE#
05/21/2003So now try to do
SELECT to_char(<<your new date column>>,'DD/MM/YYYY') from <<your table>>
to be sure your date is kept right.
Rgds.

Why teststand can not display the ASCII character which number up to 128?

Hello All,
        I have encountered a problem on an application for ASCII character,why teststand can not display the ASCII character which number up to 128?
       For example:an expression Local.xx=Chr(164),
       xx-->string,I can not get the correct string.
       Have any idea for this?
OS:WinXP,Teststand2012 SP1.
       Thanks a lot.
Solved!

Hope this helps,

Ah, that explains why i see "European Set"....
One question, Doug: Obviously, you can select only the localization there. Is this PostScript Characters for all languages? Or is it possible to switch to something like true types, e.g. "Wingdings"? (I know, bad example, but i hope you get the point)
thanks,

Character + sequence number

Hi, How can I generate a unique id with a "character" + "sequence number"? Thanks,

Something along the lines of:
SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE my_seq;
Sequence created.
SQL> SELECT 'AB'||TO_CHAR(my_seq.NEXTVAL,'FM99999999999')
2 FROM DUAL;
'AB'||TO_CHAR(
AB1or, if you want a fixed length value with the sequence 0 filled, which would be better for sorting, then:
SQL> SELECT 'AB'||TO_CHAR(my_seq.NEXTVAL,'FM000000000')
2 FROM dual;
'AB'||TO_CHA
AB000000002HTH
John
