APEX Validation : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:

Hello,
I need some help for a validation. User put value at 'minutes field'(need a number between 0-59).
My solution is to make two validations:
1 - No number:
Name: P1_MINUTES
Type : Regular expression
Validation Expression 1: P1_MINUTES
Validation Expression 2: ^\d{1,5}(\.\d{1,2})?$
2 - Higher number then 59:
Name: P1_MINUTES
Type : Function returning Boolean
Validation Expression 1:
if :P10_TOT_MINUTEN < 60 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
Validation Expression 2: -
Validation 2 gives this error(for example value = m) :
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error - the reason is clear value m is not numeric
How can this be solved!

Tony,
This is not the solution for my problem. If the user fills a character (say 'b') then I have still this error. Value 'b' is not numeric.
I need a solution: Combination from both validations or skip function (if validation number 1 is true then skip validation 2).
Do you have another solution for this problem.
Thanks
Walter

There is not a chance in the world, especially not knowing column definitions that I, and I suspect most anyone else, is going to wade through this much unformated code looking for an error you couldn't bother to copy in full.
Either tell us, specifically, the line on which the error is occurring or, better yet, start whacking stuff out of your code until you find the offending definition. That is certainly what I would do. Commenting out sections is a marvelous way to quickly find an issue.
Before you post again please read the FAQ. It will explain to you how to properly post and use the tags.

ORA-06502 : PL/SQL: numeric or value error in Report formattrigger

Hi guys,
I have a Format Trigger code to not display any amount less than 1.00 at a group frame level and outside of the group frame is the Grand Total in my report but I am getting
" REP-1401: ' r_headerformattrigger ' : Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
"ORA-06502 : PL/SQL: numeric or value error"
every time I try to run it.
function R_headerFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :c_header_amount_accrual1_disp > 0.99 then
return (TRUE);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
end;
Does any one have any idea as why?

read this code
Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 88 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).
Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints

Pl/Sql numeric or value error

Hi All,
Does any one know if there is a bug in Oracle 8 related to date variable?
This is the second time I am seeing very peculiar problem with date package variable as well as local variable.
1) Few weeks back, I encountered problem with Date package variable, which is giving pl/sql numeric or value error,if you leave the session idle for few hours. When you connect back, the query runs just fine without any problem. To fix this I had to remove the date package variable.
2)And now I am seeing that my job which calls the above package failing after running for long hours. It fails due to a local date variable with Pl/sql numeric or value error. Now, I am going to remove this variable also.
Anyone has thoughts on this?
Thanx for any inputs.

Hi,
I have solved by adding the following statement.
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(theClob,cache=>false);
Thanks,
Rammu

Numeric or value error when submitting form

I have a form based of a stored procedure. The form has about 20 fields on it. For some reason the form only allows data entry on only about 10 of them. If I put data in any of the other 10, I get: "An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)"
I have looked everywhere to see what's going on. I checked the procedure to make sure its parameters are good. It takes takes all VARCHAR2's, so thats OK. I checked the fields in the form editor for validation, and none are being validated, so thats OK. I made sure all the fields are updatable and they are. I even checked the table to make sure that the data can go into the fields, even though I know that the error returned there would be through the procedure, not Portal. I am stumped. What am I missing?
Rich

Follow Up: While troubleshooting this, I filled in all the fields with one character each and the form submitted. I added characters little by little to each field until I got the error. It seems like Portal has a problem when I pass X amount of characters from a form. I say "Portal" because I thought this might be an OS parameter, but I get the same error in both Win2000 and Solaris.
Any ideas where this setting is? Or how to change it?

hi
can any one please help me?
i am developing the application in HTMLDB. i have an error numeric or value error: char buffer too small.
i have an attributes plan_name,type......att_header1 in the database. The data's were inserted to the database, without the att_header item but if i have the item att_header int the HTMLDB then the insertion is not working. and also i was able to insert the data into the database for the field att_header1 through sql command . i think the problem is onle in my HTMLDB application.

Valli,
I don't think you understood my post, above:
Can you please create an application that shows the problem on apex.oracle.com? Then we'll be able to see all your code together with the database tables, etc.
If you do not have a workspace you can request one.
Please request a workspace on apex.oracle.com. After your workspace request is approved, create an application there that shows this problem you are having. Create the necessary tables, packages, and other database objects in the database to support the example.
As the last step, post here the workspace name, the application ID, and detailed instructions explaining how to use your application to demonstrate the problem.

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

HI All,
I am facing the following issue and looking forward for help to find the cause.
We are converting PDF documents in our repository to HTML using Oracle API
ctx_doc.ifilter (v_datablob, v_dataclob);
a highly simplified version of our code will be something like this..
1) Create table to store the BLOB(Binary PDF documents)
create table tbl_pdf_store(pdf_doc blob);
2) Insert a row and store a PDF.
3) Convert the PDF into HTML and store it in a CLOB object..
DECLARE
v_datablob BLOB;
v_dataclob CLOB;
BEGIN
--Create temporary clob objects
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (v_dataclob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (v_datablob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
--get the pdf to be converted from store table
SELECT pdf_doc
INTO v_datablob
FROM tbl_pdf_store
WHERE rownum < 1;
 --convert the BLOB to HTML and store it in CLOB
 ctx_doc.ifilter (v_datablob, v_dataclob);
exception
 when others then
 dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm||' - '||sqlcode);
end;
Now the issue I am facing is, the above code works fine for few documents and for few others I get this cryptic error message
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 180
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DOC", line 1142
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error - -6502
I cant reproduce the exact code here, but if anyone had faced the similar issue, then it would be great if they help me out.
thanks,
Prashant

> Billy, its not just plain wrong its a sin :). "When
others" should itself be avoided if possible(it just
shows you don't know what error can occur). In the
actual code, we are using separate package to handle
and log errors. Here it was just for simplification I
added that putline code.
Phew.. You had me worried there... :-)
> I ran my procedure in debug mode and it throws this
exception when its executing the Oracle API
ctx_doc.ifilter
And there is very little you can do debugging that, as that source code is encoded (wrapped).
Which means that unfortunately you have to treat that code as a black box and investigate the bug with respects to:
a) the "environment" from which the call is made (ito of session settings, the sequence of calls made, etc)
b) the data and parameters passed
> this is not the case with all the PDFs..I was able to
convert more than 11 thousand documents without any
issues. I have this for only few hundred documents.
This would seem to point to a bug in Oracle's CTX conversion/filter code. Maybe those PDFs are a newer version and is not correctly supported. Maybe they're an older version that is not supported.
Which is why I said you need to isolate the error. Determine which PDFs are failing. Create a test harness (simplified code as you've posted) to perform a conversion (and nothing else).
Determine which PDFs fail and which works. Look at the differences between PDFs. E.g. can those problem PDFs be opened with different Acrobat Reader version - or do some of them fail?
> Another issue is I cannot view the content of the
these documents to check if anything is different :(.
You can with Acrobat Reader.. right?
> so no sure how to go from here...is there a
printstack method in Oracle 9i(similar to 10g I
guess) which can give me more information as I am
currently lost and not sure where to look.
Dumping the stack will not be of much help. In fact, the error message sequence you pasted already show the call sequence. And as these are in Oracle PL/SQL code, there is nothing really you can do about it.
My suggestion is to
a) isolate the error
b) consult the manual(s) to ensure that the Oracle PL/SQL s/w is used correctly
c) determine if this is data related (e.g. different PDF versions for example)
d) log a SR (Service Request) with Oracle Support
The more you can do ito of (a) - (c), the better the chance for finding the root cause, and the quicker resolution when you have no choice but to do (d).

Procedure varchar2 parameter size limit? ORA-6502 Numeric or value error

Hi ALL,
I am trying to create out parameters in a Procedure. This procedure will be called by 4 other Procedures.
PROCEDURE create_serv_conf_attn_cc_email
( v_pdf_or_text varchar2,
v_trip_number number ,
v_display_attn_for_allmodes out varchar2,
v_display_cc_for_allmodes out varchar2,
v_multi_email_addresses out varchar2,
v_multi_copy_email_addresses out varchar2
When I call that procedure in another Procedure I am getting following error, which is caused by one of the out parameter being more than 255 characters.
I found that out via dbms_output.put_line(ing) one of the out parameter as I increased its size.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
I thought there was no size limit on any parameters passed to a Procedure.
Any one know of this limit of 255 characters on varchar2 Procedure parameters? Is there a work around keeping the same logic?
If not I will have to take those parameters out and resort to some global varchar2s which I do not like.
Thanks,
Suresh Bhat

I assume one of the variables you have declared is not large enough for it's assignment.
Here's an example.

Difficulty in resolving ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:

Hi
I am having great difficulty to resolve the following error - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small . In my Oracle Package, I have a Function that returns a varchar(255).
My Function is basically as follows:
FUNCTION GetUserDept (DeptNum IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
deptname varchar(255);
BEGIN
SELECT name INTO deptname
FROM depts
where id = DeptNum;
RETURN deptname
END;
The SQL is running correctly and returns one result, which is what I want. However, when I call the function in my .NET C# code, this is when I am seeing the error message.
In my code, I said that the commandtype is a stored procedure, passed the parameters, and add it to to the parameters, with the return type and direction put first and executed as a scalar. The code executes, and then fails at the ExecuteScalar line, and it is at this point on my exception handler that I see the error message ORA-6502.
This really odd, because I have two other functions that return numbers, and I have executed them in the same way, and theses works!
I have checked my function and can't see what is wrong, and I have tried changing the return type from varchar2 to NVarchar on the return type, but this made no difference.
This problem has really dogged me for hours and I cannot see how to resolve it.
Can someone, please help me?

ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error. Dynamic SQL the only answer??

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I have an HTMLDB report that errors with the above message. The query is over 7000 characters long so I'm guessing this is the cause. If I retrieve the query from a query table, replace the variables in the LONG query using PL/SQL and execute using dynamic SQL, are the HTMLDB reporting features the same as if I was using a simple SQL query? Is there a better way? I will need to 'drill-down' from this report so how do I create the links? The only HTMLDB PL/SQL package I can find mentioned in the User's Guide is HTMLDB_PLSQL_JOB.
Cheers, Paul

Hello All,
I have the same problem.
For me it started when i got about 500 rows in the table
on which the LOV is based.
With a lot of trying with substr I managed to find the size of the string which it still accepted, which was 51 characters.
So I thought it was some glitch in the APEX insides, and since I had no time to resolve it further, I went on working.
But I have to resolve it now, because the following mysterious behaviour is occurring:
Every few records added to the base table, the problem occurs again, and I can resolve it by cutting down the string
with one character.
I have now reached 39 characters !?
I am afraid that I will end up with 1 character or even null.
If I switch to Popup list based on LOV there's no problem, and the complete strings are shown.
The maximum length of the string in my basetable is 252, but the data in it now reaches 55 at most.
Any idea welcome!
I did already recreate the master-detail form from scratch, but there the same behaviour.
greetings,
Richard Kloostra

Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error while fetch LONG datatype

Hello All,
I have written a script to fetch the text for a view in PLSQL and it gives me the following error :
Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
declare
l_text all_views.text%type;
begin
SELECT text INTO l_text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error : '||sqlerrm);
end;
The above works for some views and not view other views. Can anyone let me know what could be the reason for ORA-06502 when fetching into a long variable in PLSQL.
Would appreciate any response.
Thanks,

If view 'XXVIEW' contains "no record" for field "text" then it'll show this error.
I mean "SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';" returns "No record found" then how can you assign "no record" to a variable "l_text ".
try to execute : SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
What does it give you? any "Blank records"?

Hi Helios,
Many thanks for your reply.
I am able to figure out the issue. In the code we have
l_analysis_report := l_analysis_report ||'<tr><td align="center">'|| curr_refresh.analysis_name
 || '</td><td align="center">' || curr_refresh.start_time || '</td><td align="center">'
 || curr_refresh.end_time || '</td><td align="center">'|| curr_refresh.RUN_TIME_SECS ||
 '</td><td align="center">'|| curr_refresh.status ||
 '</td> </tr>' || UTL_TCP.CRLF;
 exit when length (l_analysis_report) > 32500;where "l_analysis_report VARCHAR2(32767);"
The issue is report has more characters, and when executing it throws the error " ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ".
Can you please let me know how to have more characters/data in the report. Will CLOB help if yes, please let me know how to use it.
Kindly suggest some options.
Regards,
Sunny
