Issue with formal parameters

Question

Hi,
The Sample Procedure is been displayed Below:--
i_userId is an input (number) parameter to the Stored Procedure (SP)..
This same parameter is used for filtering Data (can be found almost bottom , i had marked as "ISSUE FOUND" there.).
i'm been using the SP without TO_NUMBER (i_userId) in my database 11g which works fine.
When the same Script is been imported to another 11g Database.. the query fetches NOTHING..... And it Works only when i had given TO_NUMBER (i_userId)........
Why is its So?........
Is this issue occur due to any installation problem, or Database creation problem.............
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ADM_MENUSUBLEVEL_GET (i_userId IN NUMBER,
i_parent IN NUMBER,
o_menuCur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR,
o_Return OUT NUMBER) IS
array_tab array_tbl := array_tbl();
BEGIN
The Query below Fetches the lower most child node and returns its parent based on
hierachy
WITH MAINDATA AS
(SELECT LAG(purity, (LVL - 1), 0) OVER (ORDER BY rn) Val, unique_id, menu_id, parent_id, remarks, is_active, lvl
FROM (SELECT ROWNUM rn, DECODE (lvl, 1, menu_id, NULL) purity, unique_id,
menu_id, parent_id, remarks, is_active, lvl

CONNECT BY menu_id = PRIOR parent_id)

EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN

Is this issue occur due to any installation problem, or Database creation problem.............Check the datatypes involved on the machine where it is not working. Its possible an implicit datatype conversion is taking place and is producing different results (leading spaces, for instance, in a string) than the TO_NUMBER
