Need help in resolving ORA-06502: PL/SQL: related to WF objects

Hi,
We are getting the following error "Oracle error -6502: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small has been detected in FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS_API.UPDATE_ASSIGNMENT" when we add a new user or make changes to the existing user or anything associated with Workflow process. We have an SR open for over a week, but no resolution yet...!
We ran autoconfig few times, complied Invalid objects etc ...but no luck!
This is ERP 11.5.10.2 on Red Hat Linux 4.0 on a 2-node RAC cluster and 2-node Apps Cluster (PCP) ---; thanks in advance..!

Did this work successfully before ? If so, what has changed ? Can this error be reproduced consistently on all instances ? Can you pl provide the navigation path to reproduce the error ?
Are you using the Internal Controls Manager module ? If so, MOS Doc 456950.1 (Preventive Segregation of Duties Constraints On Users Form Fails With Ora-6512, Ora-4088) may help.

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?

If the expected maximum length of the concatenated string is less than 32K, then use VARCHAR2 and at the end convert to CLOB if necesary.

PS: At what line in the code does it give the error?

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

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
I passed a fiscal year in as a parameter, and try to set a local variable to that value so i can use that variable later on in the for loop statement to increment the fiscal year to 2009, 2010, etc.
I kept getting the error message above, is it because I can't assign value greater than 99 to a variable? The local variable's type is based on the table.fiscal_year%type.
Thanks.

The data type of the fiscal_year is number(4);
this is the beginning of the procedure code:
PROCEDURE load_data ( fiscal_year_in IN table8.fiscalyear%TYPE) IS
l_fiscal_year table8.fiscalyear%TYPE := fiscal_year_in ;
and I run the procedure as
exec import_data.load_data(2008);

Issue in appending the LOBs -ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

Hi
I am using Oracle 11g.
I have a requirement in which I have to append LOBs and I have to insert the LOB into a table column. I am facing problem when the data exceeds certain limit. My program works like the below:
(please note that my program logic is given below, not the exact program)
DECLARE
final_html CLOB;
int_html CLOB;
v_str VARCHAR2(32767);
i number:=0;
BEGIN
dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => int_html, CACHE => TRUE, dur => dbms_lob.CALL);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => final_html, CACHE => TRUE, dur => dbms_lob.CALL);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(int_html, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(final_html, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
dbms_output.ENABLE(1000000);
FOR i IN 1..100 loop
v_str := '<tr>' ||
'<td style="WORD-WRAP: break-word" width="50">' ||
i || '</td>' ||
'</tr>';
dbms_lob.writeappend(lob_loc => int_html, amount => LENGTH(v_str), BUFFER => v_str);
END LOOP;
dbms_output.put_line( 'The length of int_html is:'||dbms_lob.getlength(int_html));
dbms_output.put_line( 'The int_html is:'||int_html);
final_html:= '<html>'||int_html||'</html>';
dbms_output.put_line('The final_html is:'||final_html);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line(SQLCODE||'-'||SQLERRM);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (int_html);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (final_html);
DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(int_html);
DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(final_html);
END;
when the looping is done for lesser value say for e.g FOR i IN 1..10 loop, the program works fine, but when the looping is done for more values I am getting "-6502-ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" error message.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Sri

Can you please specify in which environment you are executing this ?
I modified your code as follows
The code executed successfully until the length was <= 32767 i.e ( until FOR i IN 1..1092)
Also, you need to use the APPEND function to concatenate clob variables.
Please verify the default max size for varchar2 or dbms_output in your server since you get the error for just the loop within the range (FOR i IN 1..100) .
And yes, the comments from Siva are valid.
DECLARE
final_html CLOB;
int_html CLOB;
v_str VARCHAR2(32767);

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.

Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number

The oracle application express environment is created by installing the HTTP Server on the windows server and the application express 3.2.1 components on the 11.1.0.7 oracle database on UNIX. The installation is successfully and have not seen any issues during the installation. After completing all the steps, when tried to login and click the application builder or workspace components, I see the error message

This error message is seen on most of the pages when trying to accessed and not able to understand the reasons behind it. Its a brand new environment setup and not even presented to developers to test it.

I think its better you use APEX 4.x version ratherthan using old version.
You will get more features and some bug fixes and also it's easy for you to get some help when you need.
* If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
 l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
 dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?
Shane.

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

Ora-06502 pl/sql numeric or value error in Report Query in oracle apex

Hello all,
I need your help...
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I am using bi publisher to generate PDF reports in oracle apex.
We were using APEX 4.0 and migrated to 4.2 just a week ago.
Now we have apex 4.2.
When I try to Create report query,
Shared Components >> Report Queries then create.
and test a report in a create wizard I am getting a error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I have also applied a patch "16760897".
This issue is because of number of columns in a query is more then 26.
If I run a report with 26 or less number of columns then the is working fine, otherwise getting this error.
My before migration report queries working perfectly even now, but not new queries.
This issue is also in apex.oracle.com.
You can see
Not working - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=619:4
Working - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=619:2:
Please give a solution.
Thanks you.

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).

Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException ORA-06502: PL/SQL

I have the following Simple PL/SQL function:
FUNCTION INSERTFBEXP (
p_expid INTEGER,
p_run_identifier VARCHAR2,
p_run_complete INTEGER,
p_run_completion_status VARCHAR2,
p_complete_errors INTEGER
RETURN INTEGER
IS
newid INTEGER;
concheck INTEGER;
BEGIN
concheck := 1;
newid := 1;
INSERT INTO test.exp
(ID, concheck, expid, run_identifier,run_complete, run_completion_status, complete_errors
VALUES (test.id_testexp.NEXTVAL, concheck, p_expid, p_run_identifier, p_run_complete, p_run_completion_status, p_complete_errors
) RETURNING ID INTO newid;
RETURN newid;
END;
Which I am calling from the following .Net procedure:
Public Function insertTestExp(ByVal expid As Int32, ByVal Run_Identifier As String, _
ByVal Run_Complete As Boolean, ByVal CompletionStatus As String, ByVal Complete_Errors As Boolean) As Integer
Dim id As Integer
With m_OraCmd
.CommandText = "USER.FBPROCESS.INSERTFBEXP"
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
With .Parameters
.Clear()
.Add(New OracleParameter("p_expid", OracleDbType.Int32)).Value = expid
.Add(New OracleParameter("p_run_identifier", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50)).Value = Run_Identifier
.Add(New OracleParameter("p_run_complete", OracleDbType.Int32)).Value = Convert.ToInt32(Run_Complete)
.Add(New OracleParameter("p_run_completion_status", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50)).Value = CompletionStatus
.Add(New OracleParameter("p_complete_errors", OracleDbType.Int32)).Value = Convert.ToInt32(Complete_Errors)
.Add(New OracleParameter("newid", OracleDbType.Int32)).Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
End With
Try
.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
Return CType(.Parameters(5).Value, Int32)
End With
End Function
When I attempt to run the .Net function I get the following error:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException ORA-06502: PL/SQL
I have determined by trial and error that the problem is in passing the VARCHAR2 parameters. I do not have this problem with the Microsoft Oracle Provider. Can someone help me with what I'm missing? Thanks.

Note that I have not tested your code... but, it looks like you are using bind by position (which is the default). In this mode the return value needs to be bound first since ODP.NET will generate code similar to this:
:ret_val := proc(:1, :2,...);That's where I would start anyway.
Hope that helps a bit,
Mark

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

what is wrong. please help!

You can do it, assigning the empty_clob().

Error ORA-06502 PL/SQL

Hi, i have this error when i try to call a store procedure from my VB.NET (2005) program.
The store procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MY_EXECUTE (CMD IN VARCHAR2, FIELD IN VARCHAR2, IID OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE CMD || ' RETURNING ' || FIELD || ' INTO :1' USING OUT IID;
END;
I use this function tu return th value of a sequence field in an insert istruction.
When i call this SP from my .net program (i use ODP dirver vers. 2.102.2.20) i recieve the error:
We recieve ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 1 on some updates.
If i call the same SP with OleDB provider all works fine.

Thanks for help.

Hi,
Is this behavior consistent or intermittent?
If intermitten, and your db is 9206, you're likely encountering the following rdbms bug:
Bug.4015165 (74) REGRN SCALAR VARCHAR2 IN BINDS WITH DIFFERENT SIZE RANDOMLY FAILS WITH ORA-06502
and should be resolved by patching your database.
I'm not sure why, but ODP seems to encounter this bug a lot more than other drivers.
If not intermittent, or if you are using a current patch level of database, a complete testcase would probably be best.
Cheers,
Greg
