Clearing of numeric varible value in plng folder.

hi friends,
i'm using 2 numeric varibles.
For both of them replacement type is User-defined value and tick marked "INput allowed by user".
User enters values in numberic varibles(selections) in plng folder and runs plng funciton, then output comes perfectly.
when next time user enters that plng folder again, he is viewing same selections(for both varibles) made earlier in previous run.
Even though user tryging to change them, system not allowing to change to new values. My requirement is just clearing of variable values(last run), when before any user runs plng folder.
Or In other way, when user runs plng folder, upon seeing output and saving plng figures to database, and i required here just clearing of that two numeric variable values.
How can i achieve this objective?
thanks,
kumar

Remove numeric value(by cut option, upon right click) on char variable and enter new value. After that save content.
Issue resolved.

Plng folder: user inputs has to save automatically,before plng function exe

hI friends,
at plng folder level, user enters selections(varibles area) and input values in input area. Next runs plng funciton, which do some calculation at background(formula function) and showed results in output layout.
Can i make user entered variable values & input values automatically save, when user clicks plng function? Here if we not provide this provision, user has to save both varibles values & input values before running plng function.
thanks,
kumar .

If you are doing this in BPS then refer to the following thread and how to paper.

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.

Package will allow to download the spread shreet. If i try to pass the a complex query to package it is returning error as mentioned below
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
In the above package there is a procedure called procedure excel_content which actuall prints the data in the spread sheet this is where the error is coming from there is a variable called vsql have declared it as clob to hold large string but still i am getting the same error when trying to pass a big string.
Please check the error and let me know.

-6502 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
What can I do about it???
Thanks in advance.
Menno Hoogsteen

Working on the same project as Menno, I had the time to look into the problem.
The problem is caused by the creation of the capi-function agregate_char_value in the packages hsu_capf. While creating this function the following code is executed:
add(' -- allowable values:');
add(' -- '||l_col_name_list);
This last statement causes the problem because this table is very big. L_col_name_list contains 2391 characters wich is 393 characters to long. So i changed this code into:
add(' -- allowable values:');
add(' -- '||substr(l_col_name_list,1,1990));
add(' -- '||substr(l_col_name_list,1990));
and everything works fine. Perhaps something for a patch?
Kind regards,
Ruben Spekle

ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I get this error on two function activities in a workflow of mine. I don't even get into the pl/sql procedure call.
The exact error is:
Error Name -6502
Error Message: ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error Stack: @#@Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROC, ITEM_TYPE, ITEM_KEY, 6519, RUN)
If I retry the step (expedite -> retry) it runs until it hits the second function which does the same thing (there is a function in between the two functions that do not have any issues). I then have to retry that step as well. Any ideas?
This seems similar to the following issue that does not have a resolution posted:
ORA-06502 PL/SQL numeric or value error in wf process
I've tried commenting out the bodies of the procedures called but that does not help (again -- im not getting into the bodies but im not sure what else it could be).
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Does this happen on every instance of the process, or just a few?
Are these activities in the middle, or right at the start of the flow?
Are any other activities being performed correctly first? If so, are these standard or bespoke?
My inclination would be that there is some kind of variable that is being populated (or concatenated onto), which is growing too big. When the process errors, it gets cleared, which is why an expedite would move the activity on.

Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Trunc

This is driving me nuts!
I am getting this error from OWB during a mapping process.
I have checked the input data and it looks fine.
The run time audit browser just lists all of the steps but does not make it clear which one failed. Is it the last one which is shown (does not have HIDE as selection link.)
I also tried to determine which row was causing the problem and followed the instructions at http://www.nicholasgoodman.com/bt/blog/2005/07/, but no row_id was recorded in the views. In actual fact there wasn't very much audit info other than that the mapping ran and was complete (even though it failed).
In the error message section it has, in order
Map Step - blank
Rowkey - 35204435256
Severity - X
Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bind
Object Name - N/A
Object Column - *
From the PL/SQL error I thought it may be trying to insert into a data field that was too small, but all of the columns that are used are full of data of length shorter than all of the target tables.
I have even started running the cursors in the generated PLSQL but I don't get the error by doing this.
Thanks in advance for any tips at all.

Thanks for the response.
I managed to work it out and it had to do with the selection criteria of one of the filters.
For anyone else facing this error, check to see if any of the rows being inserted has the same key/identifier as some existing in the target table. If so add an extra condition to the where clause.
This worked for me.

Error at Script Editor - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

Hello everyone,
This is my last call for help. I have made some research before i decided to create this thread, trying to find similar problems on the web and on this forum but it seems that this kind of error is associated with another type of situations. In addition, i am pretty new to Oracle DBMS and i do not know how to figure out some problems that happens in this DBMS. This one is very ridiculous because it happens when i load or create a script in Oracle Script Editor. This might be a bug for Oracle Developers figure out and correct for the next releases or updates (or not..).
Working on:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Fresh installation - Yesterday)
Application Express 2.1.0.00.39 (Might be useful information) Windows XP
Problem:
I have a script which allows to create a new database with some tables, relations and data filled in. I go to DB Homepage and login, go to Script Scripts menu and upload the script. I open the script to run it and when the Script Editor load it shows this: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

However i don't understand why shows the HTML code. Seems to be the code related with the rest of the Oracle DB webpage where the script in filled in (check this two images to understand what i am trying to say: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3104/errororacle10g.jpg and http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5185/scripteditornormal10g.jpg. This is what Script Editor shows on Internet Explorer.
If i login and make the same in another browser the behavior is different. In Firefox the script editor don't show anything and with Chrome i get all the script instructions in a single line (it exceeds the Script Editor) and the Script Editor background turns red: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1382/oracleerrorchrome.jpg I tested some scenarios and i got other conclusions: When i try to create a script in the Script Editor, whatever i write (instructions or whatever) when i save and load the file shows the same error. I uploaded the script many times with different File Character Set and the error shows in all situations.

Custom message(low stock) on alv layout cell(plng folder)

hi friends,
in plng folder(alv layout), can system displays message dynamically on a particular cell(row & col combination). eg: "low stock" via fox code. Simply i 'm deriving one cell value based on fox code (formula). If stock > 0, show stock value, else in that cell i want "low stock".
In excel , this facility is availble using "IF', formula on particular cell.
thanks

Hi Raju,
what you could do is:
- define a new calculated keyfigure which takes the stock value if it is > 0 and the value 0 in all other cases.
- define your query setting View->Properties->Value Display->Zero value display->show zero values to "low stock".
This has a similar effect. All value which are 0 in the query are displayed as text "low stock". Another option to highlight "low stock" material would be using exceptions.
Maybe this fulfills your requierement. Binding messages raised in planning function to certain cells in excel is not possible.

Document list(Plng folder)

Hi Friends,
Maintained reference document list at plng environment and then included at plng folder(design mode). Assignment everything is Ok. While excuting plng folder, system prompts error message: Error in DOC001, layout is incorrect or deleted and then proceeded further, i'm able to view that document list perfeclty. Why i'm getting error message? There is no help given by SAP at prompt message window.
Is there any method of uploading excel file data to planning layouts/planning folder fields through interfaces.
thanks,
RP

APEX Validation : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:

Hello,
I need some help for a validation. User put value at 'minutes field'(need a number between 0-59).
My solution is to make two validations:
1 - No number:
Name: P1_MINUTES
Type : Regular expression
Validation Expression 1: P1_MINUTES
Validation Expression 2: ^\d{1,5}(\.\d{1,2})?$
2 - Higher number then 59:
Name: P1_MINUTES
Type : Function returning Boolean
Validation Expression 1:
if :P10_TOT_MINUTEN < 60 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
Validation Expression 2: -
Validation 2 gives this error(for example value = m) :
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error - the reason is clear value m is not numeric
How can this be solved!

Tony,
This is not the solution for my problem. If the user fills a character (say 'b') then I have still this error. Value 'b' is not numeric.
I need a solution: Combination from both validations or skip function (if validation number 1 is true then skip validation 2).
Do you have another solution for this problem.
Thanks
Walter

Problem with error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string

Hi,
I am running a loop to just spool output data using 'dbms_output.put_line' and I keep getting this error after a few records. I resorted it and it happen at a different interval. Could it have to do with the length of the item I am trying to spool? Thanks.

Sql Query (updateable Report) returning ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value

Hi I have a Sql Query Report Region as defined below. On the report attributes I am not using any "Row Selector". In a After submit process I try to print out the results of the value I have entered in as a value in updatable report and i get the error: I am doing this as a test before i use the data to insert into another table...
I receive this error if I enter in a characters (not numeric) into the "Field Value" field.:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.
If I enter in a numeric into the "Field Value" text box, then I get the value displayed back without error. I need to be able to enter a varchar value without error.
My SQL QUERY is:
select i.INDEXED_FIELD_ID, i.field_name,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,d.indexed_field_value) field_value,
decode(f.required, 0, 'O', 1, 'R', 'NOT USED') REQUIRED
from XXVG_EFILE_DOCUMENT_FIELDS D,
xxvg_efile_type_fields f, xxvg_efile_indexed_fields i
WHERE f.indexed_field_id = i.indexed_field_id
and f.required in (0,1)
and i.indexed_field_id = d.indexed_field_id(+)
and d.document_id(+) = -1
and f.document_type_id = :p21_doc_type
My after submit process is the following...**Note** I am using P21_test as a field just to display my test. I receive the value back just fine without error if numeric. If varchar, that is when the problems occur. I have used just a length variable like the lettter 't' for testing and still receive the error.
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- update field values
FOR i IN 1 .. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03.COUNT -- your field value
LOOP
vRow := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03(i);
IF vRow is Not NULL --means the field has data in it.
THEN
:p21_test := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F03(i); --set a variable to the field with data.
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
Is there a conversion I need to do? I do not want to do this via checkboxes as I dont want the user have to check a checkbox and then enter a value in. I just want a blank text box the user can enter a value in and then i can do an insert.
Thanks So much.

Thanks Scott, That did do the trick as the varchar is now displayed of the entered item.
How do i also display the value of indexed_field_id as well.
I have an insert where i need the indexed field id and the entered field value.
Thanks in advance.

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?

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.

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.
