Invalid number error (urgent)

hi..
in my stored procedure i have been used

Perhaps if you could explain how this is related to the XML features of the database we could help. If it's not related to the XML features, and there is nothing in your post to suggest it is you would get a faster response by posting in the correct forum

Invalid Number Error Please help Urgent

Hi,
I am trying to create a report in discoverer where in I get an invalid number error for the statement
,DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',to_char(final.future_supplpy),'B/O','B/O') sale_type.
We have the requirement that when TYP is Sales i need to display future supply and when the TYP is B/O i need to display B/O.
The query runs perfectly fine in TOAD but in Discoverer Desktop when i run the report i get an error message
invalid number.
Please help its urgent
Thanks
Ashwini

Hi Ashwani
First of all, your statement appears to not be handling anything other than Sales or B/O. Is that deliberate? If not, you need a default, catch all value at the end like this:
DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',NVL(final.future_supply,to_char(final.future_supply),'B/O','B/O', default_value) sale_type
You also might want to make sure there aren't any NULL values in future_supply or in TYP and if there are you might want to consider using an NVL for these, like this:
DECODE(final.TYP,'Sales',NVL(to_char(final.future_supply,NULL),'B/O','B/O', default_value) sale_type
Also, when using DECODE you don't always need to use TO_CHAR as the DECODE conversion to a string typically takes place automatically. CASE is different as it insists that all results are of the same data type.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Very Urgent: Invalid Number error

We are getting an invalid number error on a date field in a Form that has run this procedure for two years. The query is something like select max(upload_date) from pfe_time_report where ssn = :block_update.ssn. We think that an invalid number has been inserted into the database but we can't find out where. Has anyone run into this situation before? This is a crucial enterprise application (3000 people won't get paid w/o it!)
Thanks.

Infact I also got this error, I solved this problem by removing NLS_DATE_FORMAT from the registry you can try out this option and see it does work.

Case When Statement and ORA:01722 Invalid number error

Hi folks, I have posted this under another heading as well under E-business suite so apologies if some you have already seen it but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Any suggestions are most welcome.
We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not techie at all so are learning as we go!
We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.
SUM(TO_NUMBER(NVL(( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date < TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') THEN ( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" > SYSDATE THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( Absence Attendance.Duration Days ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ),( DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") )),'999999990D00'))

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

Invalid number error for bind dialog

Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialog

It is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id).

How to determine offending column in ORA-01722: invalid number error ...

When an error like
ORA-01722: invalid number error
occurs and you are dealing with many columns that could be the 'culprit', does anyone have a method by which
you can quickly determine offending column?

SQL PLus will tell you:
SQL> create table t
2 (col1 number
3 ,col2 number
4 ,col3 number
5 ,col4 number
6 ,col5 number
7 );
Table created.
SQL> create table x
2 (col1 varchar2(10)
3 ,col2 varchar2(10)
4 ,col3 varchar2(10)
5 ,col4 varchar2(10)
6 ,col5 varchar2(10)
7 );
Table created.
SQL> insert into x values ('1','2','x','4','5');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)
2 select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x;
select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01722: invalid numberAnd if you rearrange your sql like this, sql plus will give you the line number of the offending column:

6 ,col5
7 )

Please help: Case Statement - ORA-01722: invalid number Error

Hi All,
I'm trying to use Case statement to recode Cancelled statuses into two groups
'Reject' if the difference between first date and last date is less than 29 and
'Accept' if the difference between first date and last date is greater than 30
Here is my 'test' data:
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011
Here is the syntax
select a.*,
(CASE WHEN a.STATUS ='Cancel' THEN (round(a.LAST_DATE-a.FIRST_DATE))
ELSE 0
END) CAN_DAYS,
(CASE WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' >29 THEN 'Reject'
WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' <30 THEN 'Accept'
END) Reject_Accept
from test a
The first CASE statement works fine and gives me this
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26
but the second CASE produces ORA-01722: invalid number Error. It is something to do with the CAN_DAYS data type, Oracle doesn't see it as Numeric i think.
The result i want to see would be
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS Reject_Accept
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37 Accept
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26 Reject
Could someone please help me to fix the syntax?
Thank you in advance,

This seems to give you your desired results...
with test as

Another ORA-01722: invalid number Error

Hello All,
I have 2 Validations on 1 Item, Not Null and Not Exists, very standard.
select fk_session_name_id
from hrt_session
where fk_session_name_id = :p9_fk_session_name_id
and fk_class_id = :p9_fk_class_id;My Item needs to be a Select List that returns the ID of FK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
select distinct SESSION_NAME display_value, PK_SESSION_NAME_ID return_value
from HRT_SESSION_NAME
order by 1My Form Page throws the ORA-01722 in invalid number Error only when I make the Item a Select List. If Item is a
Text Field and ID value entered and Create is clicked the data is saved but not when its a Select List. I have read alot
of threads that talk about converting this Item to_number but I have not been successful in doing this. Once the Item is
a Select List the Not Exists validation works but the Not Null Validation populates the Error Message. Can anyone
assist me with this please? Thanks
My Data Type is INTEGER for FK_SESSION_NAME_ID and SESSION_NAME is VARCHAR2.
SESSION_NAME data....
SESSION 1
SESSION 2
PMAS 1
PMAS 2
BASIC WORD 2003.....
Edited by: Charles A on Jan 11, 2010 1:42 PM

Hey Jari,
The PK_SESSION_NAME_ID in the select statement is the value that is going to be returned. FK_SESSION_NAME_ID is the Foreign Key value that will get the value from the Primary Key PK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
Yes, I do have an account that you can log into, thanks for assistance Jari.
Once you log in Select link 'Hrt_Class' which will populate Page 2. Region 'Cascading LOVs has 4 Items. Class Meridiem, Class Name, Class End Date and Class Location. Select these values then click 'Search'. Once the values are populated click the red button at the bottom 'Add Session Info'. This will populate Page 9 which will allow you to test the Create button. You should not be able to add any Session Name that exists in the Report below and you should not be able to Create a Null FK_SESSION_NAME_ID. Let me know if this is clear, thanks again.
The PK_SESSION_ID cannot be Null so just start with values 60116 on up to avoid that error message. I do not have any sequences or triggers created since this is just a testing app.

Although there are many things which should not have been done in the posted code, I could not find any reason why the Invalid number error should occur at the Fetch clause.
I would suggest you to Insert into Table by providing the Order of Columns i.e. Insert into table (col1, ... colN) values (coll(i).col1...col(i).colN);
I tested below code and it did not give any errors.
drop table test_table;
create table test_Table
rid   varchar2(100),
emp_id number(5),
fname   varchar2(20),
lname   varchar2(50)
set serveroutput on;
declare
cursor c_cur is
      select rowid rid, e.*
        from employees e
       where rownum < 10;
type typ_cur is table of c_cur%rowtype;
typ typ_cur;
l_bulk_limit    number := 5;
begin
open c_cur;
loop
    fetch c_cur bulk collect into typ limit l_bulk_limit;
    dbms_output.put_line('Collection Count :: ' || typ.count);
    forall i in 1..typ.count --typ.first..typ.last
      insert into test_Table (rid, emp_id, fname, lname) values (typ(i).rid,typ(i).employee_id,typ(i).first_name,typ(i).last_name);
    dbms_output.put_line('Processed ' || l_bulk_limit || ' records.');
    exit when c_cur%notfound;
end loop;
commit;
end;
select * from test_table;PS:- 1. When you are processing only 4 Records, then why are you breaking them in 2 Loops?
2. Why Commit every time you are processing a DML? Why not maintain an Error Flag and Rollback the Transaction as soon as error is encountered?
3. Use "{code}" (Exclude Double Quotes) to format the code. I am not sure if works.

P.

ORA-01722: invalid number error. In Update

create or replace procedure San_Test (sInNum varchar2, outMsg out varchar2)
is
begin
update mtest set
mname = 'Success'
where id in (sInNum);
commit;
outMsg :='Success';
exception
when others then
outMsg :='Err';
dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;
This is my test sp where i am getting ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Which is because the column data type is Number of ID and i have sInNum parameter as varchar2.. How can i achieve this ?
I don't have other way to do this please help.

Great demonstration for SQL INJECTION, was that part of your OCP training?
CREATE TABLE mtest (id NUMBER, mname VARCHAR2(255));
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (1, 'test');
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (2, 'test2');
COMMIT;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE san_test (sinnum VARCHAR2, outmsg OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
   mnum     VARCHAR2 (10);
   strsql   VARCHAR2 (250);
BEGIN
   mnum := REPLACE (sinnum, '''', '');
   strsql :=
       'update mtest set
mname = ''Success''
where id in (' || mnum || ')';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE strsql;
   COMMIT;
   outmsg := 'Success';
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      outmsg := 'Err';
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLERRM);
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
        ID MNAME
         1 test
         2 test2And now for the fun part:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_put_msg VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
san_test('1) OR (1=1', v_put_msg);
dbms_output.put_line(v_put_msg);
COMMIT;
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
        ID MNAME
         1 Success
         2 SuccessC.

ORA-01722: invalid number (Error in Application after upgrade to 3.0)

Dear All,
After upgrading to 3.0 I am no longer able to login to my application. The error I am seeing is:
ORA-01722: invalid number
Error Could not process show_hide_memory.show_hide_collection_output procedure !
Please help me pin-point the issue and fixed it.
This happens in some applications but in others it doesn't...
Regards,
Pawel.

I believe I have found the source of the problem!
This is coming from the sample application which was used for the show/hide of regions example.
The code behind the above procedure is:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE show_hide_memory AS
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection;
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection_output;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY show_hide_memory AS
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection AS
l_arr apex_application_global.vc_arr2;
l_found boolean := FALSE;
l_collection_name VARCHAR2(255) := 'SHOW_HIDE_COLLECTION';
BEGIN
IF(wwv_flow_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name => l_collection_name) = FALSE) THEN
htmldb_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => l_collection_name);
END IF;
l_arr := apex_util.string_to_table(p_string => v('TEMPORARY_ITEM'), p_separator => ']');
-- If the array member count of l_arr < 3, then the following code will raise an exception
FOR c1 IN
(SELECT seq_id
FROM apex_collections
WHERE collection_name = l_collection_name
AND c001 = l_arr(1)
AND c002 = l_arr(2)
AND c003 = l_arr(3))
LOOP
-- It exists, so delete it
apex_collection.delete_member(p_collection_name => l_collection_name, p_seq => c1.seq_id);
l_found := TRUE;
END LOOP;
IF l_found = FALSE THEN
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => l_collection_name, p_c001 => l_arr(1), p_c002 => l_arr(2), p_c003 => l_arr(3));
END IF;
COMMIT;
END show_hide_collection;
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection_output AS
BEGIN
htp.prn('<script type="text/javascript">' || CHR(10));
htp.prn('' || CHR(10));
htp.prn('</script>' || CHR(10));
END show_hide_collection_output;
END;
I guess now I have to find the bug in the above code !

ORA-01722 Invalid Number Error - report parameter

I have a report which runs successfully using the following simple select statement: -
select u.user_id, u.user_forename||' '||u.user_surname user_name,
fo.flight_number_in, fo.sta, fo.ata, fo.flight_number_out, fo.std, fo.atd
from users u, flight_operations_employees foe, flight_operations fo
where NVL(fo.sta, fo.std) between :P_Start and :P_End and
fo.record_number = foe.record_number and
u.user_id = foe.user_id
order by u.user_surname
Where P_Start and P_End are parameters passed from a form. I want to add further user option selections for the report and have added another parameter (P_inClause) where the user can select one or more items to select from. The column selected is a number on the table. I then want to pass this as another parameter into the report listing a number of valid values using the IN statement. The updated select statement is: -
select u.user_id, u.user_forename||' '||u.user_surname user_name,
fo.flight_number_in, fo.sta, fo.ata, fo.flight_number_out, fo.std, fo.atd
from users u, flight_operations_employees foe, flight_operations fo
where NVL(fo.sta, fo.std) between :P_Start and :P_End and
fo.record_number = foe.record_number and
u.user_id = foe.user_id and
u.user_id IN :P_inClauseorder by u.user_surname
u.user_id is a number column in the table. The value of P_inClause is set as a character parameter in the report and has the value (45,5,13,26) - as an example.
When I try running the report interactively it comes up with the ORA-01722 : Invalid Number error and points to the P_inClause parameter. If I type in the value directly into the select statement it works fine.
Do you have any ideas as to how I can make this work?
Regards
