Getting a 'Invalid Number' Error
when i try to run the following code I get a 'ORA-01722 Number Error' and I can;t seem to figure out what the issue is.

In your example your first returned value is 1 which is a number, so when it get's down to 'A' it is trying to implicitly convert that string to a number and failing. You should only deal with one datatype so in this case you would be best to surround all your returned numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9) with single quotes.

Case When Statement and ORA:01722 Invalid number error
Hi folks, I have posted this under another heading as well under E-business suite so apologies if some you have already seen it but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Any suggestions are most welcome.
We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not techie at all so are learning as we go!
We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.
SUM(TO_NUMBER(NVL(( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date < TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') THEN ( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" > SYSDATE THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( Absence Attendance.Duration Days ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ),( DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") )),'999999990D00'))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.

Invalid number error for bind dialog
Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialogIt is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id). -
Invalid Number Error Please help Urgent
Hi,
I am trying to create a report in discoverer where in I get an invalid number error for the statement
,DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',to_char(final.future_supplpy),'B/O','B/O') sale_type.
We have the requirement that when TYP is Sales i need to display future supply and when the TYP is B/O i need to display B/O.
The query runs perfectly fine in TOAD but in Discoverer Desktop when i run the report i get an error message
invalid number.
Please help its urgent
Thanks
AshwiniHi Ashwani
First of all, your statement appears to not be handling anything other than Sales or B/O. Is that deliberate? If not, you need a default, catch all value at the end like this:
DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',NVL(final.future_supply,to_char(final.future_supply),'B/O','B/O', default_value) sale_type
You also might want to make sure there aren't any NULL values in future_supply or in TYP and if there are you might want to consider using an NVL for these, like this:
DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',NVL(to_char(final.future_supply,NULL),'B/O','B/O', default_value) sale_type
Also, when using DECODE you don't always need to use TO_CHAR as the DECODE conversion to a string typically takes place automatically. CASE is different as it insists that all results are of the same data type.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Invalid Number Error in IR search bar.
Hi,
I am getting an invalid number error when i put a value in search bar without selecting the column name.
I followed ' "Invalid number" error using Interactive Report search on collection' thread and accordingly
1) Purged User preferences and session state.
2) Cleared browser settings and cache.
3) Deleted old region and Created a new region on the page with the same query.
If I select a column and search it works fine but when I just give an arrangement id which looks like 'ARR12345' directly in search bar it throws Invalid Number.
This is working perfectly fine in other environments which is replica of this one.
I also ran Apex util function to remove sort preferences.
Also my report is a very simple report like select * from a,b where a.id = b.id.
Please help me. This is a production issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Nokia E61/Speed Dial - Invalid number error
I have synchronized with my outlook to pull my contacts into the phone. I can dial out of the contacts just fine but when I try to assign one to a speed dial button I get an "invalid number" error. If I create a new contact, it works when I assign it but not when I used one pulled in from my Outlook contacts. Any ideas?
I just noticed something similar to this problem on my E65.
If I assign a number to my SpeedDial (eg. +61-3-9999-9999) it will work if I use the hard key button to invoke the speed dial.
But if I start the Speed Dial application and use that interface on the GUI to call the interface the E65 complains "Invalid Phone Number".
It is strange the the hard-key speed-dial will work, yet the application interface doesn't.
Any suggestions? -
Very Urgent: Invalid Number error
We are getting an invalid number error on a date field in a Form that has run this procedure for two years. The query is something like select max(upload_date) from pfe_time_report where ssn = :block_update.ssn. We think that an invalid number has been inserted into the database but we can't find out where. Has anyone run into this situation before? This is a crucial enterprise application (3000 people won't get paid w/o it!)
Thanks.Infact I also got this error, I solved this problem by removing NLS_DATE_FORMAT from the registry you can try out this option and see it does work.

TO_CHAR to convert date getting 'Invalid number' error
I am trying to convert a static date value using TO_CHAR function but I can't believe I am not able to do it such a simple conversion.
//Obviously this is easy and everyone would like to give this as an example and this is what I see everwhere on Google and it works.
SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
How can I make it work like this?
SELECT TO_CHAR('2010-JUN-23', 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
I keep getting "Invalid number" error. I changed my constant date to different formats but none works.Your first literal is not a date, assuming you didn't set NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
So the code should have been
SELECT TO_CHAR(to_date('2010-JUN-23','YYYY-MON-DD'), 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
Please note DATEs are always converted to VARCHAR2 when you SELECT them, using NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
When you use a DATE string literal it ias always implicitly converted to a real date, by using NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
So if you want all your dates formatted as YYYY-MON-DD, you need to set NLS_DATE_FORMAT to that mask.

TO_NUMBER getting invalid number error
I want to use TO_NUMBER function to converse some float number,
but the following query always gets invalid number error:
select to_number('12.1073') from dual;
but if I add the format in, it runs as expected:
select to_number('12.1073', '99.9999') from dual;
From the syntax, the format parameter is optional, is it only optional for integers?
Thanks!Same here.
So, or you replace dot by comma, or you change the territory (or nls_numeric_characters) defined for your session :

Hi Experts,
My requirement is
If DT_ID value of xmlmsg existed in the DT_ID of PART_ID_COLLES table then that record should be processd else should be skipped.
And xmlmsg of PART_ID should start with "A" and followed only by the number then that record should be processed else should be skipped.
And xmlmsg of DD_DAYS should contain only the number and grater than or equal to 0 ,then that record should be processed else should be skipped.
For that I have written this code.
But if I pass dt_id as string value in xmlmsg I am getting invalid number error.

Thanks,
Shaik MohiuddinThis error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps.. -
Another ORA-01722: invalid number Error
Hello All,
I have 2 Validations on 1 Item, Not Null and Not Exists, very standard.
select fk_session_name_id
from hrt_session
where fk_session_name_id = :p9_fk_session_name_id
and fk_class_id = :p9_fk_class_id;My Item needs to be a Select List that returns the ID of FK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
select distinct SESSION_NAME display_value, PK_SESSION_NAME_ID return_value
from HRT_SESSION_NAME
order by 1My Form Page throws the ORA-01722 in invalid number Error only when I make the Item a Select List. If Item is a
Text Field and ID value entered and Create is clicked the data is saved but not when its a Select List. I have read alot
of threads that talk about converting this Item to_number but I have not been successful in doing this. Once the Item is
a Select List the Not Exists validation works but the Not Null Validation populates the Error Message. Can anyone
assist me with this please? Thanks
My Data Type is INTEGER for FK_SESSION_NAME_ID and SESSION_NAME is VARCHAR2.
SESSION_NAME data....
SESSION 1
SESSION 2

Edited by: Charles A on Jan 11, 2010 1:42 PMHey Jari,
The PK_SESSION_NAME_ID in the select statement is the value that is going to be returned. FK_SESSION_NAME_ID is the Foreign Key value that will get the value from the Primary Key PK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
Yes, I do have an account that you can log into, thanks for assistance Jari.
Once you log in Select link 'Hrt_Class' which will populate Page 2. Region 'Cascading LOVs has 4 Items. Class Meridiem, Class Name, Class End Date and Class Location. Select these values then click 'Search'. Once the values are populated click the red button at the bottom 'Add Session Info'. This will populate Page 9 which will allow you to test the Create button. You should not be able to add any Session Name that exists in the Report below and you should not be able to Create a Null FK_SESSION_NAME_ID. Let me know if this is clear, thanks again.
The PK_SESSION_ID cannot be Null so just start with values 60116 on up to avoid that error message. I do not have any sequences or triggers created since this is just a testing app.

ORA-01722: invalid number error. In Update
create or replace procedure San_Test (sInNum varchar2, outMsg out varchar2)
is
begin
update mtest set
mname = 'Success'
where id in (sInNum);
commit;
outMsg :='Success';
exception
when others then
outMsg :='Err';
dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;
This is my test sp where i am getting ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Which is because the column data type is Number of ID and i have sInNum parameter as varchar2.. How can i achieve this ?
I don't have other way to do this please help.Great demonstration for SQL INJECTION, was that part of your OCP training?
CREATE TABLE mtest (id NUMBER, mname VARCHAR2(255));
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (1, 'test');
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (2, 'test2');
COMMIT;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE san_test (sinnum VARCHAR2, outmsg OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
mnum VARCHAR2 (10);
strsql VARCHAR2 (250);
BEGIN
mnum := REPLACE (sinnum, '''', '');
strsql :=
'update mtest set
mname = ''Success''
where id in (' || mnum || ')';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE strsql;
COMMIT;
outmsg := 'Success';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
outmsg := 'Err';
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLERRM);
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
ID MNAME
1 test
2 test2And now for the fun part:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_put_msg VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
san_test('1) OR (1=1', v_put_msg);
dbms_output.put_line(v_put_msg);
COMMIT;
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
ID MNAME
1 Success
2 SuccessC.
