Create_gb_employee API - p_title not accepting the girls!

Question

This is puzzling.
I have a PLSQL script that runs perfectly well loading new employees into ORACLE Financials via 3 API's.
The trouble is, where the employees have a title of either 'MISS', 'MRS.' or 'MS' they are erroring out on load.
Of course I have checked that these are setup correctly in the application Lookups as all my other titles - Mr, Sir, Prof etc.. all work fine. I even have a pre-load-update-temp-table script that converts all variations of Mrs/Miss/Ms to change them to whats setup in the LookUps prior to the API's picking them up.
The only thing I can think of is that there is a bug in the afore-mentioned API? Or can anyone make any further suggestions?
many thanks for reading..
Steven

Answer 1

The problem with the pasting up here all my code, then the code of API will run into pages..
Anyway, My script..
