Granting a group ownership of an item programmatically??

Question

I've imported a lot of data from another system. Now I need to
set the appropriate permissions on some of the items.
For instance I want to set group id 15 to be the owner of all
items that is a specific (custom) type, e.g. subtype=2442.
The code below is what I've tried, but I'm getting this error
message:
begin
"SUPPORT"."UPDATE_ITEM_PERMISSIONS";
end; (WWV-11230)
Unexpected error encountered in wwsec_api.set_group_acl (ORA-
06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number
conversion error) (WWC-41417)
Has anyone done this successfully?
Any ideas, tips etc is highly appreciated!

Create or Replace PROCEDURE SUPPORT.UPDATE_ITEM_PERMISSIONS
as
CURSOR examples_cur IS
SELECT C.ID, C.NAME
FROM PORTAL30.WWV_THINGS C
WHERE SUBTYPE=2442;
begin
FOR ex IN examples_cur
LOOP
htp.p('Changing permission on: ' ||
ex.name || '<BR>');
wwsec_api.set_group_acl
p_group_id => 15,
p_object_type_name => wwsec_api.ITEM_OBJ,
p_owner => wwctx_api.get_product_schema,
p_name => ex.name,
p_privilege => wwsec_api.OWN_PRIV
END LOOP;
end;

You can't call htp.p from SQL*Plus - it must be called through
mod_plsql. Try executing the procedure from within the browser
(use the database navigator) - it should work.
