Interactive report gives an error only for a specific user

Question

An interactive report based on a very complicated select gives an error only when a specific user is logged on.
The error is:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB.
For other users logging using this page it works fine.
Authentication for this application is done using a stored function.
The query does not use the current userid in it.
Why does it fail for a specific user? if there is a problem, it should fail all the time.

Hi ankur,
By what you said the report dont have any date parameters or no date columns.
"Query execution was not successful ORA-01843 not a valid month." This means it is related with date mask passing a invalid month into date column or argument to to_date function.Check once the session date that is 'dd-mm-yy' or anything else
select * from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
select to_date('01-DEC-06'),to_date('01-12-06') from dual;
Also a general question whenever I am trying to mark any question as 'Helpful', the status is not changing. Is there anything I am missing.While you flag it 'helpful' or 'correct',it takes you to other screen where you see "Yes, the question is now answered" click the radio button and then click ok button.
Hope its helpful.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.
