OLAP -- ORA-6502: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

Hi all,
We got installed Oracle 9201. After applying the patch #2761332 (to upgrade up to 9203)
and interim patch #2897078 (9203 Patch 1) we always get OLAP Catalog invalid.
I've tried to mend this problem by doing all it is said in Notes 23268.1 & 226443.1 but
my effort was worthless. OLAP catalog is still invalid though BI_Checkconfig says is okay at all.
Nevertheless, we can create dimensions, cubes and measures well, but other problem arises when
I try to add a dimension to a cube issuing the following command:
cwm2_olap_cube.add_dimension_to_cube( owner, NAME, owner, DIM_NAME);
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM2_OLAP_MANAGER", line 380
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM2_OLAP_MANAGER", line 397
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM2_OLAP_CUBE", line 281
Paying attention to other metalink/otn threads about this subject we found similar problems with
Oracle 9203 in Japanese (keeping in mind we use Oracle in Spanish).
Any patch we can apply? Any ideas? Your comments are welcome ...
Thanks in advanced !!

ORA-06502: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I have a stored proc with a parameter pio_med_rec_nbr patient.med_rec_nbr%TYPE
where patient.med_rec_nbr is a varchar2(12) .
character set is we8mswin1252 semantics are bytes
the stored proc retrieves max(med_rec_nbr) into nTmp( number) from a reference table
and does pio_med_rec_nbr := lpad(TO_CHAR(nTmp),12,'0')
which throws the ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallwhen I check the length, I get length(pio_med_rec_nbr) = 12
I can pass one digit or null but no more. Any idea what I need to do to debug this? I can do xxtmp := lpad(TO_CHAR(nTmp),12,'0') where xxtmp varchar2(255), so I know the assignments are okay.
Thanks,

Do, pio_med_rec_nbr := trim(lpad(TO_CHAR(nTmp),12,'0') )

ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I get this error on two function activities in a workflow of mine. I don't even get into the pl/sql procedure call.
The exact error is:
Error Name -6502
Error Message: ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error Stack: @#@Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROC, ITEM_TYPE, ITEM_KEY, 6519, RUN)
If I retry the step (expedite -> retry) it runs until it hits the second function which does the same thing (there is a function in between the two functions that do not have any issues). I then have to retry that step as well. Any ideas?
This seems similar to the following issue that does not have a resolution posted:
ORA-06502 PL/SQL numeric or value error in wf process
I've tried commenting out the bodies of the procedures called but that does not help (again -- im not getting into the bodies but im not sure what else it could be).
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Does this happen on every instance of the process, or just a few?
Are these activities in the middle, or right at the start of the flow?
Are any other activities being performed correctly first? If so, are these standard or bespoke?
My inclination would be that there is some kind of variable that is being populated (or concatenated onto), which is growing too big. When the process errors, it gets cleared, which is why an expedite would move the activity on.

The error message should have included a line number for you to reference back to your code to know what line the error was occurring on.
That said, look at the documentation for SUBSTR as you are using the third parm incorrectly. It is length, not end position. That's your issue.

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.

Sunny

Report error: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.

Full Details:
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
MS Access runs this query but when I try to call a 'List of Values' in APEX that is in excess of 800 the error above displays. If I use a 'Pop Up' it will work but splits the list at 500. This is annoying and slower as I would like to be able to display all 850+ items in a named list of values. How do I increase the buffer size?
Kind Regards,
Steve

Steve,
Could you please post the query you're using? You're most like hitting one of two possible varchar2 limitations. If you're calling the apex_item API in your SQL query to render the select list, then you're limited to 8000 characters, this your option values and HTML code used to render this. In this case using the "XL" versions of the APIs might help, e.g. select_list_from_query_xl, because those return CLOBs. If you're already using those or if you're using the built-in display type "select list", then you could potentially hit the 32k character limit of varchar2 values in PL/SQL. In that case the best alternative is using a popup LOV instead.
Regards,
Marc

if you want to find out which of your two variables are causing the problem, then use pragma exception_init along with "begin end exception" blocks within the loop.
I've removed the procedure specification, so you can test this in SQL Plus. You need to supply a number to the Header_id1 variable something like this:
set serveroutput on

cursor Item_Add(Header_Id1 number) is

is the package an oracle apps standard package or customized package? if it is a customized package try to increase the size of the variable or parameter that is in question. otherwise if it is an oracle apps standard package you need to open a TAR.

LOV - PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I have a field set to 'text field with autocomplete' and now that the data that is used for the LOV has increased dramatically it returns the following error 'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small'. Through trial and error I determined that if I restricted the number of rows returned using rownum < nnn then it would work. I then determined that I could use the trim and substring functions and remove the rownum restriction and it would work. Below is the LOV query. I have seen a couple of other posts similar to my problem and one of them asked if there was a way to increase the buffer size, but it was never answered. Is there a way, such as a parameter setting, that I could increase the buffer size for LOVs?
select distinct substr(trim(item_requested),1,50) d
from consolidated_components
order by 1
Thank you.

Hi Scott
Thanks very much for jumping in here.
No, I didn't use the wizard to create the page. It was a manual operation but to tell you the truth the page has been changed so many times as I was working on different functionality and appearance that anything could have happened. I ended up having to manually create row processing processes and delete other processes, creating and hiding buttons, changing the way I'm passing item values, etc. I realize regardless of what I do as a developer the software should be able to handle all changes through it's interface but I've been in this business long enough to be realistic.
I also could have done something blatantly stupid as I continue to learn this product. For those of us not yet totally comfortable with all the web development technology, Javascript, AJAX, etc., but are asked to develop applications that work best using those technologies sometimes we make elementary blunders.
Thanks very much for your help. It is indeed appreciated.

ORA-06502 PLSQL Numeric or value error character string buffer too small

Hi
Gurus help!!
I received error message "ORA-06502: PL/SQL:Numeric or value error: character strong buffer too small." I use example code of "AJAX Get Multiple Values Tabular I" from Denes Kubicek http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:239.
I did
1) create an application process on demand (set_multi_items_tabular)
2) create two application items (temporary_application_item and t_rownum)
3) create a report page (I assume) and put the below into the page header
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_set_multi_items_tabular(pValue, pRow){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular',0);
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
get.add('T_ROWNUM',pRow)
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn){
var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item");
var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
}else{
var l_Value = '';
if(l_El){
if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
l_El.value = l_Value;
}else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
}else{
l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
get = null;
</script>
4) Report Query is
SELECT apex_item.select_list_from_query
(31,
NULL,
'SELECT FIRST_NAME d, ' || 'EMPLOYEE_ID r FROM EMPLOYEES',
'style="width:250px" '
|| 'onchange="f_set_multi_items_tabular(this.value,''#ROWNUM#'''
|| ')"',
'YES',
'0',
'- Select FIRST NAME -',
'f31_' || '#ROWNUM#',
NULL,
'NO'
) BOOK,
apex_item.text (32,
NULL,
80,
100,
'style="width:190px" ',
'f32_' || '#ROWNUM#'
) FIRST_NAME,
apex_item.text (33,
NULL,
80,
100,
'style="width:190px" ',
'f33_' || '#ROWNUM#'
) LAST_NAME,
apex_item.text (34,
NULL,
80,
100,
'style="width:190px" ',
'f33_' || '#ROWNUM#'
) EMAIL,
FROM EMPLOYEES
I did modify Denes' code from table: my_book_store and columns: subject, price, author to match my sample table: EMPLOYEES and columns: FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, and EMAIL.
Am I missing some steps? Please advise and thank you in advance.
Candice

Stupid me!! The size of select list is too big. After I delete some record from the table, that programs. Thanks for Denes Kubicek. I guess there is limitation of select list in Apex.

ORA-6502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Character string buffer too small

I then ran the sql in APEX- SQL tool and got the following error
URL Encoded SQL length exceeds 32k limit
Is there a paramter that controls this value or is my only option to shrink the column data in the intractive report ?
Note: Toad renders data for the SQL - only an issue in APEX.
Thanks

Issue in APEX, sorry.. You will need to shrink the # of characters you are returning down in your select....
Thank you,

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I am encountering this 6502 error when running a report in Crystal Reports XI. I am connecting to Oracle Server. All the documentation I've read has said to update the UserSessionFormat property... how do I do that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Grant,
UserSessionFormat is a property in the Oracle OleDB driver.
Scroll to the Solution part of tis article.
