Characterstic Value Error in Report

Hi Gurus,
Please help me out in resolving the below issue..
I have a report based on a DSO , When I try to run the report , I get an error which says that the value of one of the characterstic is invalid.
The characterstic is ZCH_DESC of type CHAR and length 60.
When I remove this characterstic from my report , it runs fine.
I have also checked the values loaded for characterstic ZCH_DESC and I do not see any invalid one..all are strings with length less than 60.
the actual text of the error is :
"Error while reading data;navigation is possible
error value 'Net Energy Market Settlement for Non-Dispatchable'(hex'4E006500...... "
Also please note that the SID Generation for my dso is switched off
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
How are u able to do reporting if SID generation on activation is OFF. Do you have a Infoset working over the DSO ??
If yes, try loading master data key for that char. into Info object. It should fail. Your load into DSO for transaction data is not failing b'coz that validation is not performed as you have kept SID generation OFF.
Now when your generating report SID is getting created dynamically and validation is performed during running of report.
So try loading dat key into info object. It should fail. You may have to correct this value manually when loading transaction data maybe in PSA before it goes into DSO.
Thanks,
Mihir

Ora-06502 pl/sql numeric or value error in Report Query in oracle apex

Hello all,
I need your help...
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I am using bi publisher to generate PDF reports in oracle apex.
We were using APEX 4.0 and migrated to 4.2 just a week ago.
Now we have apex 4.2.
When I try to Create report query,
Shared Components >> Report Queries then create.
and test a report in a create wizard I am getting a error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I have also applied a patch "16760897".
This issue is because of number of columns in a query is more then 26.
If I run a report with 26 or less number of columns then the is working fine, otherwise getting this error.
My before migration report queries working perfectly even now, but not new queries.
This issue is also in apex.oracle.com.
You can see
Not working - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=619:4
Working - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=619:2:
Please give a solution.
Thanks you.

check the DB version compatibility with apex 4 or your DB version to apex 4.0 support for upgrade!

ORA-06502 : PL/SQL: numeric or value error in Report formattrigger

Hi guys,
I have a Format Trigger code to not display any amount less than 1.00 at a group frame level and outside of the group frame is the Grand Total in my report but I am getting
" REP-1401: ' r_headerformattrigger ' : Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
"ORA-06502 : PL/SQL: numeric or value error"
every time I try to run it.
function R_headerFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :c_header_amount_accrual1_disp > 0.99 then
return (TRUE);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
end;
Does any one have any idea as why?

read this code
Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 88 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).
Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints

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 to number

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

This error message is seen on most of the pages when trying to accessed and not able to understand the reasons behind it. Its a brand new environment setup and not even presented to developers to test it.
Below error message is always seen when trying to access most of the components like application builder, schema comparison and some other tabs. Please advice

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.
* If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

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.

Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table k

Hi everybody,
I have two Distinct Databases on two distinct servers. (Oracle Ent. Release 10.2.0.3.0 on AIX 5.3). After I install the latest patch last week, One of the APEX installation has some problems on Home>Application Builder Page. The error message is very random and
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value.
When i change the view (details to icons), everything goes to normal. This error message is reflected some of the pages (report region) of some of my applications randomly. When it appears in a report region, i deselect the order method of the region, the result is normal.
But the other APEX application on the other instance has no problem. It is a bug? or Should i re-install the APEX instance?
Thank you for your interest?

No, but we have a reproducible test case now so we're working on it. See ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value

Hi,
I was able to resolve the issue. I changed it to = To_Number while assigning.
and for other issue, earlier I choose "Select List" for drop down. I changed this to "Select list with Submit". for the issue of "depending on this values in the report should get change"
Thanks for your support,

Report error: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.

Full Details:
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
MS Access runs this query but when I try to call a 'List of Values' in APEX that is in excess of 800 the error above displays. If I use a 'Pop Up' it will work but splits the list at 500. This is annoying and slower as I would like to be able to display all 850+ items in a named list of values. How do I increase the buffer size?
Kind Regards,
Steve

Steve,
Could you please post the query you're using? You're most like hitting one of two possible varchar2 limitations. If you're calling the apex_item API in your SQL query to render the select list, then you're limited to 8000 characters, this your option values and HTML code used to render this. In this case using the "XL" versions of the APIs might help, e.g. select_list_from_query_xl, because those return CLOBs. If you're already using those or if you're using the built-in display type "select list", then you could potentially hit the 32k character limit of varchar2 values in PL/SQL. In that case the best alternative is using a popup LOV instead.
Regards,
Marc

There 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.

REP-1401: 'cf_10formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

Hi Team,
I am running one conc programme.
After running I am getting below error. I checked the issue on metalink and other, seems that it is an size related issue. I have increased the size of formula columns and placeholdder too.
But still getting issue.
My requirement is to get comma seperated values using SQL query itself. Neither i wanted to create layout of the report , since it is a XML publisher report and nor I am including it on RTF template.
I want the CF_10 formula column to be populated with comma seperated values.
MSG-00187: From Date 01-Sep-2014
REP-1401: 'cf_10formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
And Here is my code for CF_10
function CF_10Formula return Number is
begin
   SELECT NVL(TO_CHAR(sum(Amount),'99,99,99,999'),0) into :CP_5 --NVL(ROUND(sum(Amount)),0) into :CP_5
-- xxhw_Coll_cat(category)     "Intercat Catg"
FROM hhxw_Region_col_v
WHERE Category IN ('Intercompany - CATV')
AND trunc(gl_date) BETWEEN TO_DATE(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') AND TO_DATE(:P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR');
RETURN ROUND(:CP_5);
end;
Anyone please suggest me.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
1)Why are you selecting the value into a report item? Select into a local variable and return that
RETURN :CP_5 --> This one!!
2)And you should avoid applying functions to DB columns in where clauses wherever possible, so oracle can use indexes on them if applicable:
AND gl_date >= To_date(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR')
AND gl_date < To_date( :P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') + 1;
I think you are taking 2 column in the Layout CF_10 and CP_5 right? if so, then use below Query.
FUNCTION cf_10formula
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_amount NUMBER:null;
IS
BEGIN
BEGIN
    SELECT nvl(round(SUM(amount)), 0)
    INTO   v_amount --> Retruns the value for CF_10 column
    FROM   hhxw_region_col_v
    WHERE category IN ( 'Intercompany - CATV' )
    AND    gl_date >= to_date(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR')
    AND    gl_date < to_date( :P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') + 1;
    :CP_5 := nvl(trunc(v_amount),0); --> Retruns the value for CP_5 column
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    v_amount := 0;
    srw.message(1003,'Error in Getting :' ||p_from_date);
END;
END;
And
If you've got a number function returning into a number field then all you should need to do to make the comma appear is to change the number format mask in field.
From 40000 to 40,000

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br     number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
    l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?
Shane.

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

Error execute report in R12

Hi all,
I think I better change this question into a sharing because I'd solved my problem :p.
Below is my first post in this thread before I found the solution :
I hoped I put this in the right forum. Before I ask the question, here are my environment:
Operating system : Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 6
RDBMS : 10.2.0.3.0
Oracle Applications : 12.0.4
Report Builder : 10.1.2.0.2
I created a report using Oracle Report Developer then I upload it to my Apps machine. After set all the executable and validation set I tested the report. At first the request completed with status Warning. Viewed the log I got warning like this :
REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file
After browse metalink and OTN (such as in Reports Compilation Errors: REP-25200 / REP-0004 / REP-1430 and in Re: REP-0004 Error... it seems that the problem was because prefs.ora was not present in $HOME so I copied the prefs.ora file from /apps/tech_st/10.1.2/tools/admin to $HOME then I requested the reports again. This time that error didn't show up and the request completed normal but there's no output at all. The same report did show output when tested in Oracle Report Developer.
I opened the report file in Report Developer and tried to compile it (Tools > File Conversion) from rdf to rdf using different name then I copied the report and tested again. This time the request completed normal but still no output. When I viewed the log I got this error message:
Oracle error -6502: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: associative array shape is not consistent with session parameters has been detected in fnd_global.put(PERMISSION_CODE, FND_PERMIT_0000).
APP-FND-01564: Oracle error 6502 in FDXNC
Cause: FDXNC failed due to ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: associative array shape is not consistent with session parameters
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_GLOBAL", line 1233
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_GLOBAL", line 1432
ORA-06512: at line 1.
The SQL statement being executed at the time of the error was: begin fnd_global.set_nls_context( p_nls_numeric_characters => :nc ); end; and was executed from the file &ERRFILE.
The routine FDPREP was unable to set the numeric character to .,.
So I tried another way, I recreate the report but try to display only some fields. The fields must be put in a repeating frame because if I tried to put in a normal frame caused reports developer displayed error message that I put the field below it's frequency. After put some fields in the repeating frame I tested the report again in Oracle Apps. this time the result was Completed Normal but still no data (0 byte) though in Reports Developer it showed some data. After some test I got conclusion that the data can only be put in a repeating frame if all the data were put in the same level (e.g.: all the field put in the same repeating frame) and can't be break down where there exist repeating frame in a repeating frame (nested repeating frame) as if you want to create grouping while want I want is to create grouping. Using Reports Developer wizard to create the report gave me the same result, no data displayed.
Now, anyone know how to solve that problem? thanks.
and now for the solution :
For REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file error message
Just copy the prefs.ora file from /apps/tech_st/10.1.2/tools/admin to $HOME then the error message wouldn't show up anymore. Though based on my experience this error message can be omitted further analyze would be good to know if there's any impact to the system or performance or anything else.
For no data displayed error
Make sure the setup was right especially the token field as that was my problem. The token field was not the same as the bind variable in the report query, that's why the request completed normal and no data displayed :P it's very foolish of me to miss that simple thing.
thank you all

Hi Michael,
Yes, that patch is exactly I got from oracle support, however I'm having a problem to apply it :P
Here are what I usually did to apply patch in E-Biz :
1. Source the application environment using the environment file in APPL_TOP
2. Enable maintenance mode using adadmin
3. Apply patch using adpatch
4. Disable maintenance mode using adadmin
5. Start all the services
How to apply patch just for database only? Reading the readme file it said that to apply patch was only using command :
$ opatch apply
However we need to ensure that the directory containing the opatch script appears in $PATH. I found that opatch.pl exist in $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch but I can't use opatch though I had sourcing application enviroment or database environment.
I echoed $PATH and $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch (which either ../db/tech_st/10.2.0 for database or ../apps/tech_st/10.1.2/Opatch) and found was not in the $PATH.
I assumed that I shouldn't change the application environment or database environment file recklessly so that $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch appears in $PATH.
However if I tried to run opatch directly from it's folder then I got this following error :
OPatch cannot find a valid oraInst.loc file to locate Central Inventory
So my questions are :
1. Do I need to source environment before running opatch? If yes, which one, application environment or database environment?
2. How to set the Central Inventory location so that opatch recognized it? Is it by sourcing the environment in question 1?
3. Which opatch must I run? The one in application tier or in database tier?
4. How to run it? Type all the path directly (as /db/tech_st/10.2.0/OPatch/opatch)?
Thx

I know there are several topics on the web, but all of them are about new or custom reports, this is a standard one. When I preview the report on the report definition it works fine, so I assume there's a problem with the XML file generated. When I preview the report specifying an alternative XML I get the same error. The XML file I choose was the one generated by PeopleSoft when trying to view the printable version of the PO online.
So, I start cutting portions of the XML File. I started leaving only de Header Data and it works OK, when I add the Lines it failed. I add the Line Fields one by one to detect what was the problem... And finally it failed when I add AMT_LINE_MAX. Why? No idea, is it because its value is '0,000' instead of '0.000'? I don't think that should be the problem since there are other numeric fields on the header, all with ',' as a decimal separator...
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks in advance.

Veronica.

Have a look at the following doc:
"Error generating report output. (235,2309)" When Running the "PO XMLP Dispatch" XML Publisher Report (PO_DISPATCH) for a Purchase Order with a Ship To Location with Special Characters in the Address [ID 1299876.1]

Stating this happens for example when there is a location with special characters.
