Error Message (ORA-01722: invalid number) when add amount into Number field

I am using VB.net, trying to insert data into a field called amt with Data Type 'Number'.
my vb.net code is as follows
Dim oradb As String = DatabaseConnectionString
Dim AmountValue As Decimal = 123.45
'get the connection
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
'open the database connection
conn.Open()
'create oracle command
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand("INSERT INTO TBL1 (AMT) VALUES (:AMT)", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Decimal, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)
'Execute
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
I got error message "ORA-01722: invalid number". Please help

Did you also change the below line before inserting Integer 123:
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Decimal, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)
to
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Integer, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)

Error Message - ORA-01722 Invalid Number

Hello:
I have the following situation. When I create an organization, a record is inserted into the following table, AGREEMENTS, and populates four fields.
I have an update form which selects the organization from the AGREEMENTS table so the user can populate the rest of the table. In addition, on this form, there is a drop-down box which allows the user to select the name of a legal document along with the version of the document in which the user needs to select. This select list is created via an LOV joining three tables. The item name for this select list is :P6_DOCUMENT.
The code for the LOV is:
SELECT S.DOC_NAME||' - '|| O.VERSION_NO AS DOC, O.ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY
FROM SUPPORTING_DOCS S,
     ORG_DOC_CURR_VER O,
     AGREEMENTS H
WHERE
    S.DOC_TYPE = 'HISA'
AND S.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY = O.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY
AND H.ORG_KEY_LE = O.ORG_KEY
AND O.ORG_KEY=:P6_ORG_KEY_LEWhen the user completes the form, the SUBMIT process is a PL/SQL block consisting of an UPDATE statement to update the AGREEMENTS table based on the selected organization and an INSERT statement to insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table to store the value stored in :P7_DOCUMENT.
Ok, now here is where my problem starts.
When I first bring up the form and I select the organization I want to update, I click the Search button to find the organization and I receive the following error message: ORA-01722 Invalid Number.
At this point all I'm doing is a basic search. There is no insert/update or anything going on. I'm not understanding why I would be receiving this error message.
The search is based on the database column ORG_KEY_LE whose datatype is NUMBER.
In my application, the item assigned to ORG_KEY_LE is P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
I have a PL/SQL block process created (On Load-Before Header) in the Page Rendering area of my page definition. The PL/SQL code that is written is:
BEGIN
IF :P6_SEARCH_ORG != '0' THEN
:P6_ORG_KEY_LE := :P6_SEARCH_ORG;
END IF;
END;I then have an Item created, :P6_SEARCH_ORG, which is a Select List. In the LOV portion of the page for this item, I have the following:
select ORG_KEY_LE display_value, ORG_KEY_LE return_value
from AGREEMENTS
order by 1The reason for using this table is because this table contains the newly created organization which needs to be updated with the remaining columns of data.
I then have a Search button in the Button area which has the following settings:
Button Position: Region Template Position #CHANGE#.
Condition Type: Value of Item in Express 1 is NULL.
Expression 1: :P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
To troubleshoot this problem, I created two pages, one page to do the UPDATE and the second page to do the INSERT.
The SEARCH functionality in both pages are identical.
When I run my UPDATE page, which only involves updating the missing fields, the process works. I have my search box, I'm able to search for the organization, make my updates, and I'm good.
When I run my INSERT page, which involves inserting the record with the assigned document, I receive the error message after I click the SEARCH button. In order to INSERT the record into this table, I first need to SELECT the organization that was UPDATED in the AGREEMENTS table (using the UPDATE page described in above paragraph). When I select the organization, the user can then assign the appropriate legal document to the organization and insert the record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table.
Can someone help me with this error message? I'm not sure why I am able to perform my SEARCH on a page with the UPDATE statement, not able to perform the SEARCH on the page with my INSERT statement, and not be able to perform the SEARCH on the page that combines the UPDATE and INSERT statements.
I did some more troubleshooting and I do believe my SUBMIT process which contains the INSERT statement is the issue. I created a fourth page which doesn't have a SUBMIT process. I brought up the form, searched for my organization and the information for that organization appeared. The problem is definately with my UPDATE/INSERT process.
The PL/SQL block for the Submit process is the following:
BEGIN
update
    MDD.HISA_AGREEMENTS
     set
       LAST_UPDATED_BY=V('APP_USER'),
       APPROVER_SALUTATION=:P6_APPROVER_SALUTATION,

       APPROVER_TITLE=:P6_APPROVER_TITLE
where
      ORG_KEY_LE=:P6_ORG_KEY_LE
INSERT INTO
    HISA_AGREEMENT_DOCS
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY,
       ORG_KEY_LE,
       APPLICATION_KEY,
       STATUS,
       STATUS_DATE,
       CREATED_BY,
       ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY)
VALUES
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
       :P6_ORG_KEY_LE,
       :P6_APPLICATION_KEY,
       'C',
       SYSDATE,
       V('APP_USER'),
       :P6_DOCUMENT)
END;There is something wrong with the above statement and I do not understand what it could be. Can someone help?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I believe you are on to something.
The select list for item :P6_DOCUMENT appears when I first bring up the form. When I select my organization and receive the error message, I clicked on the Session in the Developer's bar. The value in item/field :P6_DOCUMENT shows %null%.
This is the path in which my user would like to accomplish her task:
1. Select an organization
2. Display the information for that organization from the AGREEMENTS table
3. Enter the data for the remaining fields in the AGREEMENTS table
4. Select the document (:P6_DOCUMENT) from the drop-down.
5. Click Submit
6. Update the AGREEMENTS table with data entered in #3.
7. Insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table with the selection from #4.
Somehow I need the :P6_DOCUMENT field not to show the %null% during the SEARCH functionality. I think that is causing the problem.
How do I fix this?

Sdo_util error code ORA-01722: invalid number in Oracle 11g R2

Dear every one,
Greetings.
Hi. As mentioned in the title, I met a strange problem when I was trying to extrude the 2D objects into 3D. The error code says ORA-01722: invalid number. Then, to eliminate the possibility that the code would be wrong, I took the sample code from the ORACLE document about sdo_util.extrude
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_util.htm#SPATL1230
the same error appeared. However, I tested the same code through the SQLDeveloper in Linux (where the 11g R2 is located) to perform the same thing in my other database in windows server 2008 where 11g R1 was installed. Works fine.
Is there any particular configuration I should do or I have done wrong. Any one knows, please help. Thanks.
Jun

Hi,-
Please use w/o 'FALSE' parameter for 11.2.0.1.0 release:
SELECT SDO_UTIL.EXTRUDE(
SDO_GEOMETRY(
2003,
null,
null,
SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,1),
SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(5, 1,8,1,8,6,5,7,5,1)),
SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY(0,0,0,0,0),
SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY(5,10,10,5,5),
0.005) from dual;
In 11.1.0.7 release, you need to use 'FALSE' parameter:
SELECT SDO_UTIL.EXTRUDE(
SDO_GEOMETRY(
2003,
null,
null,
SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,1),
SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(5, 1,8,1,8,6,5,7,5,1)),
SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY(0,0,0,0,0),
SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY(5,10,10,5,5),
'FALSE',
0.005) from dual;
We fixed this confusion for the next releases so that both interfaces can be used
and 'FALSE' parameter will be ignored.

Getting error as ORA-01722: invalid number

Hi below is my query
select count(1) from table1 where table1.rqstid = '83041' AND table1..score_name = 'Small Business Credit Risk Score' AND
to_number(table1.total_score) >= '70' and rownum<2
I tried to convert '70' to 70, but still I got ame error.
In table1 total_score is varchar2(30) data type, but for this rqstid the data is 420, so it should convert 420 to number and compare with 70.
But why I am getting this error? Please help.
If I remove to_number conversion fot total score then this error is not coming, but this will not give correct result for me.
Thanks.

CREATE TABLE SBE_SCORE (
RQSTID VARCHAR2 (30) NOT NULL,

INSERT INTO SBE_SCORE ( RQSTID, SCORE_NAME, TOTAL_SCORE, RISKLEVEL,
SUBSCRIBER_ID ) VALUES (
'83041', 'Small Business Credit Risk Score for Financial Services', '420', NULL, NULL);
My Query was
SELECT
count(1)
FROM
sbe_score
WHERE
sbe_score.rqstid = '83041' AND
sbe_score.score_name = 'Small Business Credit Risk Score for Financial Services' AND
to_number(sbe_score.total_score) >= '70' and
rownum<2
Error:ORA:01722 Invalid Number
Now I have modified as below and I am able to get correct results
SELECT
count(1)
FROM
sbe_score
WHERE
sbe_score.rqstid = '83041' AND
sbe_score.score_name = 'Small Business Credit Risk Score for Financial Services' AND
to_number(translate(lower(sbe_score.total_score),'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz@._','0'))>= 70 and
rownum<2
I I omit r in the translate function then I am getting same error Invalid number, So just I want to know whether the data 420 for total_score is taking "r" internally? withou our knowledge?

Getting an Error Message on PS Elements 13 when entering correct serial number. How do I get Adobe to help me? I have sent emails and tried to chat over the past month, with no response.

I purchased Photoshop Elements and registered it on November 1, 2014 with a Windows 7 machine. A couple weeks later, I decided to jump to a Mac, and have tried to enter the serial number for PS Elements 13 on the Mac. I get an error message that it is an incorrect serial number. It is the same serial number used with the Win 7 machine, and the same that shows on my Adobe.com profile. I thought I had to transfer the license from Win to Mac, so I emailed asking for help. No response. A couple weeks ago, I tried the Chat function. It was assigned a number, but Chat was unavailable and no one responded. Just tried Chat again, which says it is available 24/7, and it is unavailable. What can I do short of buying a new license, which I will not do.

'ORA-01722: Invalid number' error message in BeX

Hi Gurus,
We have a new report built on top of a DSO. When I run this report, I get the message 'ORA-01722: invalid number'. On furthur testing, I found that when I move two objects 'Date Changed' & 'Time Changed' [both are 'Z' objects we created] from the 'Rows' to 'Free Characteristics', the report runs as expected. So the issue seems that it is with these two objects. One of them is of type 'DATS' & the other of type 'TIMS'. These two are mapped to respective 'Date' & 'Time' fields in SAP R3.
SID's exists in the Master Data tables for both these objects. The data for both the fields contains the normal 'Date' & 'Time' values.Running the query using RSRT shows the same error message. The RSRV check on this report says that 'Query execution not possible as the variables contain invalid values'.
I have seen a couple of other posts in SDN with similar issues but none of them have a solution identified so far. Just wanted to check if anyone who has experienced this issue have been successfully able to resolve it?
Thanks
Arvind

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, the 'Date' & 'Time' objects have 0DATE & 0TIME as reference objects.
I couldn't find any invalid vallues for these date and time fields. If invalid values were present, wouldn't the DSO activation have failed?
Thanks
Arvind.

How to determine offending column in ORA-01722: invalid number error ...

When an error like
ORA-01722: invalid number error
occurs and you are dealing with many columns that could be the 'culprit', does anyone have a method by which
you can quickly determine offending column?

SQL PLus will tell you:
SQL> create table t

3 ,col2 number
4 ,col3 number
5 ,col4 number
6 ,col5 number
7 );
Table created.
SQL> create table x

2 select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x;
select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x

Clearly one or more records has a value in the last column that is non-numeric. Broadly speaking, a number consists of characters 0123456789, with optional minus sign and decimal point (scientific notation is also allowed). Just about anything else is not a number. 934-89 is not a number. 786.567.765 is not a number. A NULL should not throw ORA-1722 but spaces will.
So, check your data. You find it necessary to employ an intermediary table and cleanse the data there. Alternatively, yell at the people who produce the extract. Or change your schema definition. Whatever's right.
Cheers, APC

same as

It it comes as a text convert it to date TO_DATE('2011/12/23','YYYY/MM/DD') to use in comparison operators like =, != , > , < etc. Comparison operators used taking date as literal will give you wrong result.
Better to do it right even it takes huge effort.

Hi,

If null value is the problem, change the query setting for not to show the null values. Just add a filter in ZDAT to exclude "NULL"

ORA-01722: invalid number error when trying to pass a list of values

Gurus
We are using a function like so
The usage for the function below is
Select fn_st_bb_nm_uc (‘1232131312, 123213312’) from dual;
SQL> /
Select fn_st_bb_nm_uc ('1232131312, 123213312') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
It’s giving an invalid number error. When we pass one value it is working fine but when we pass a string of values it gives this error. I have opened an SR around this but would greatly appreciate your help
Acc_blackbar is the table and acc_blkbr_id is of type number.
FUNCTION fn_st_bb_nm_uc (pBB_ID_LIST VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
vspcm_typ_nm_uc VARCHAR2 (2000);
CURSOR stname
IS
SELECT distinct st.spcm_typ_nm_uc
FROM
acc_blackbar abb,
acc_specimen_type ast, acc_procedure apr,
acc_specimen_part asp,
specimen_type st, procedure pr,
proc_proc_family ppf
WHERE abb.ACC_BLKBR_ID = apr.ACC_BLKBR_ID
AND apr.ACC_SPCM_PART_ID = asp.ACC_SPCM_PART_ID
AND asp.ACC_SPCM_TYP_ID = ast.ACC_SPCM_TYP_ID
AND ast.ACC_SPCM_TYP_SPCM_TYP_ID = st.SPCM_TYP_ID
AND apr.procdr_id = pr.PROCDR_ID
AND pr.PROCDR_ID = ppf.PROCDR_ID
AND abb.acc_blkbr_id in (pBB_ID_LIST) ;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' BB LIST : ' || pBB_ID_LIST);
FOR st IN stname
LOOP
vspcm_typ_nm_uc := vspcm_typ_nm_uc || ',' || st.spcm_typ_nm_uc;
END LOOP;
vspcm_typ_nm_uc := SUBSTR (vspcm_typ_nm_uc, 2);
RETURN vspcm_typ_nm_uc;
END;

User Accounts and ORA-01722: invalid number error

Hello,
I have been using Express for a month or so now but have very limited knowledge of how it works.
My Problem:
I have a listing screen for user records which creates records in table QAS_USERS.
When I add a record it saves the data OK and put the record in the list.
When I click on the record in the list it takes me to the edit screen and I can change
the details and it works OK and all the changes get saved to the database.
On the data entry screen I have a list of the User Groups so I can select what group
the user will be in, usual details in username, fullname, email address, password etc..
I then added a routine to create a USER in the APEX Manage USERs.
It creates the record in my table QAS_USERS and it creates a APEX User Account with
the correct details and the record is displayed in the list.
So far so good.
Now the errors start:
1. When I look at the User Account in Administration -> Manage Application Express Users
most of the details have been added but the User Group does not get allocated.
2. The record I created in QAS_USERS appears in the list on my listing screen but when
I click on the Edit Icon on the left of the list I get the following error appear
when the screen changes to the edit screen:
ORA-01722: invalid number
Unable to fetch row error
QAS_USER Table:
ID NUMBER
CREATED_ON DATE
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(10)
CHANGED_ON DATE
CHANGED_BY VARCHAR2(10)
ACTIVE VARCHAR2(3)
USERNAME VARCHAR2(10)
FULLNAME VARCHAR2(30)
TEAMLEADER VARCHAR2(3)
TEAMLEADER_ID NUMBER
LAB NUMBER
DIRECTOR VARCHAR2(3)
ACTION_MANAGER VARCHAR2(3)
SDM VARCHAR2(3)
GM VARCHAR2(3)
EMAIL_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50)
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(12)
SDTL VARCHAR2(3)
FIRSTNAME VARCHAR2(30)
LASTNAME VARCHAR2(30)
GROUP_ID NUMBER
USER_ID VARCHAR2(20)
Process Script to create the Express User Account:
Declare
group_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
group_id := APEX_UTIL.get_group_id (:P15_GROUP_ID);
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER (
P_USER_NAME => :P15_USERNAME,
P_FIRST_NAME => :P15_FIRSTNAME,
P_LAST_NAME => :P15_LASTNAME,
P_WEB_PASSWORD => :P15_PASSWORD,
P_EMAIL_ADDRESS => :P15_EMAIL_ADDRESS,
p_developer_privs => 'ADMIN',
p_group_ids => group_id);
END;
If any one has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Simon.

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.
