I need to display the whole report_body in a text area

Answer 1

So the problem is you want to create a form against a clob column where you can edit more than 4000 characters in a textarea item for the clob data.
You are not using an Automated Row Fetch process, right?
The first problem may be that you are trying to select more than 4000 bytes as a varchar2 column in a query. This is not allowed in SQL.
Was that query the Source attribute of the page item?
Change the Source Type to Static Assignment (with nothing in the value field) and the Source Used to "Only ...", then create an after-header PL/SQL process as:
begin
SELECT REPORT_BODY into :PXX_REPORT
FROM LOG_REP_DATA a
WHERE a.report_id= :P73_VVR_LOV_POPUP;
end;
...where :PXX_REPORT reflects the name of the textarea item.
Of course :P73_VVR_LOV_POPUP will have to return a session state value when the process fires.
