How can I insert into a table other than the default table in a form

Question

Hi,
I want to insert into a table with some fields value of a form of another table. I have written insert code On successful submission of that form, but after submit it gives the following error
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)
My code is like this
declare
l_trn_id number;
l_provider_role varchar2(3);
l_provider_id varchar2(10);
begin
l_trn_id := p_session.get_value_as_number(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_TRANSACTION_ID');
l_provider_id := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_PROVIDER1');
l_PROVIDER_ROLE := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_PROVIDER_ROLE1');
if (l_provider_role is not null) and (l_provider_id is not null) then
insert into service_provider_trans_records(service_provider_id,transaction_id,role_type_id)
values(l_provider_id, l_trn_id, l_provider_role);
commit;
end if;
end;
Where 'PROVIDER1' and 'PROVIDER_ROLE1' are not table fields.
How can do that or why this error comes ? Any idea?
Thanks

Hi,
When do you get this error? Is it while running or while creating the form.
Here is a sample code which inserts a non-database column dummy into a table called dummy. This is done in successful procedure.
declare
l_dummy varchar2(1000);
begin
l_dummy := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=>'A_DUMMY');
insert into sjayaram903_1g.dummy values(l_dummy);commit;
end;
Please check in your case if the size of the local variable is enough to hold the values being returned.
Thanks,
