ORA-01722 happen when using the cursor

Question

This is my cursor declaration:
CURSOR cP_PROFILE_SKU_ID(pBusiness_partner_id IN BUSINESS_PARTNER.BUSINESS_PARTNER_ID%TYPE,
pClient VARCHAR2 ) IS
SELECT record_id
FROM pending_changes
WHERE UPPER(field_name) = 'BUSINESS_PARTNER_ID'
AND UPPER(table_name) = 'PROFILE_SKUS'
AND client = pClient
AND approved_code = 'P'
AND pending_value = pBusiness_partner_id;
When I try to user this cursor:
FOR rP_PROFILE_SKU_ID IN cP_PROFILE_SKU_ID(pBusiness_partner_id => rBusiness_partner.business_partner_id,
pclient =>rBusiness_partner.client) LOOP
END LOOP;
The error showed:
ORA-01722
Even there is no any record in this cursor
Thanks

Hi,
I think the datatypes / data contents are not matching while passing parameters in the cursor.
ORA-01722: invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
Thanks,
Biswa.
