Custom Report Erroring when using All as parameter

Question

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in running custom report.
=> DB Server Info
RDBMS : 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3
I am getting following error.
REP-1401: 'afterpform': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
custom report two parameters one is date parameter and name parameter
date parameter is using as fnd_date.canonical_to_date(:P_EFFECTIVE_DATE) in queries.
if I give name parameter for individual, then it works fine.
if I give name parameter as "All", then its erroring. I tried it in my best way, but its not working.
variable data length increased though its not working, can any one help me on this please....
Here is the Afterpform code
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
IF :P_NAME <> 'All' THEN
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
ELSE
lName:='AND name in                                                             (select name from <******>
          order by name
END IF;     
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
return (TRUE);
end;
Thanks for all your help so far.
Ram.

Answer 1

excuse i understood that you use All as parameter name
ORA 6502 is when you assign a char to a number or when assign a value which length is greater than the variable length
what's the dimension of p_where_clause for example?
you can trace with srw.message
--- <Code>
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
srw.message(1,'step 1');
IF :P_NAME = 'All' THEN
srw.message(2,'step 2');
lName:='AND name in (select name from <table>
order by name
srw.message(3,'step 3');
ELSE
srw.message(4,'step 4');
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
srw.message(5,'step 5');
END IF;
srw.message(6,'step 6');
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
srw.message(7,'step 7');
return (TRUE);
end;
---</Code>
i think your query is not good
for example
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
when instance the query the query search this condition but no use the value of p_name parameter
write
lName:= 'AND name = '||''''||:P_NAME||''''; then :p_name take the value
