ORA-06503: Function returned without value at WWV_FLOW_WEBSERVICES_API

Hi, I use APEX_WEB_SERVICE.MAKE_REQUEST function to call web service however stuck with ORA-06503 exception. It would be nice to hear comment from someone who knows APEX_WEB_SERVICE from inside.
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WEBSERVICES_API", line 125
ORA-06512: at "NEC_VLD.NEC_DVS_WS", line 77
The error occurs about 60% of my test case calls and always with the same parameter values. I thought something bad on web service side however I've tested it with the same parameter values on SoapUI tool and it works just fine. The parameter itself is fixed length varchar2 variable (e.g. 636BB6EFF19941420F00010000007B00000000000000).
My environments
APEX
4.0.1 - no luck
upgrade to 4.0.2 - no luck
plain 4.0.2 install - no luck
Databases
10.0.2
11.0.2
Procedure to call web service:
procedure getDocumentByID(
p_xhdoc in varchar2) is

l_envelope := '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
l_envelope := l_envelope||'<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:sap="http://saperion.dvs.affecto.lt/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<sap:getDocumentByID>
<id>'||p_xhdoc||'</id>

l_resp_msg := apex_web_service.make_request(
p_url => get_ref_value('DVS_DOC_WS_URL'),
p_action => get_ref_value('DVS_DOC_WS_ACTION'),
p_envelope => l_envelope,
p_username => null,
p_password => null);
end;

Never mind sorry! I've just tried granting APEX_040000 permissions for this particular Network ACL and now it works! Can I suggest that apex_web_service.make_request needs some better error handling however.
Here's the fix...
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
      acl       => 'mywebservice.xml'
    , principal => 'APEX_040000'
    , is_grant => TRUE
    , privilege => 'connect'
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
      acl       => 'mywebservice.xml'
    , principal => 'APEX_040000'
    , is_grant => TRUE
    , privilege => 'resolve'
COMMIT;
END;

PL/SQL: Function returned without value in authentication schemes

Hi all,
finally i did the authentication shemes based on my function and my own table ,thank you all for help :-) ,but now when i enter
1-correct user name &wrong password <it is gonna work,the authentication workin fine >
i am gonna get <Invalid Login Credentials> which is right in case of wrong login
2-wrong user name &wrong password <it is not gonna work>
3-wrong user name &correct password <it not gonna work>
in case of not working i am getting the following error:
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
Error ERR-10460 Unable to run authentication credential check function.
any help to solve this issue so that it will display <Invalid Login Credentials>
in all cases of invalid login
thanks in advance ,
Ahmed,

scott,you efforts was useful and i beleive that the error that i am getting it is from the function that i have can you please take a look on :
FUNCTION CHECK_USER
( P_USERNAME IN varchar2,
P_PASSWORD IN varchar2)
RETURN boolean
IS
BEGIN
for c1 in (select user_name, password from vms2_employee_details where user_name = P_USERNAME)
loop
if P_PASSWORD = c1.password then
return true;
------dbms_output.put_line('the return from the function is true');
else
return false;
----dbms_output.put_line('the return from the function is false');
end if;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
return false;
when others then
return false;
----dbms_output.put_line('the return from the function is false');
END;
and tell me what do you think ,
thanks,
ahmed

Problem with Function returned without value -

all i am having a problem w/ jdev passing the values. when hardcoded it works. when i remove to pass the 2 vals for doc_type and doc_num the params are being passed to the impl but the String sql = " BEGIN :5 := scotts_test_proc.get_log(:1, :2, :3, :4 ); END; "; is not sending the values to the pkg. to verify i am getting data i created a table to store the data being passed/retrieved by function. i am getting the log_pieces posted when hard coded so i know that works. but when i try to pass the doc_type and doc_num it errors w/ function returend without value . am i passing the params correctly from co to impl to func to get the return l0g_piece. thats for the help

A SELECT INTO query must return exactly one row. If no rows satisfy the WHERE clause, then no rows are returned, and a NO_DATA_FOUND error is raised.
One way to get around this is to do an aggregate query. If you use an aggregate function (like MIN) but no GROUP BY clause, then exactly one row will always be returned, even if the table has no rows, or no rows satisfy the WHERE clause. (You've probably used this feature before, saying "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_x;" and getting one row, containing 0, in the result set.)
Try something like this
select MIN (rgmn_path || '/' || gt.rgmn_grp_nam)
   into   v_rgmn_grp_path

REP-1401: 'no_daysformula':Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ora-06503: PL/SQL : Functio returned without value. REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this code below?
Code:
function NO_DAYSFormula return Number is
begin
IF TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_FR_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR') =TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:ACCT_OPN_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR')
AND :P_TO_DT<:MATURITY_DATE
AND :ACCT_OPN_DT>:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_TO_DT-:ACCT_OPN_DT+1);
ELSIF TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_FR_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR') =TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:ACCT_OPN_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR')
AND :P_TO_DT<:MATURITY_DATE
AND :ACCT_OPN_DT<:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_FR_DT-:P_TO_DT+1);

AND :ACCT_OPN_DT<:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_FR_DT-:MATURITY_DATE+1);
END IF;
END;
It gets compiled successfully but when i run the report, i get 2 errors.
Error 1:
REP-1401: 'no_daysformula':Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ora-06503: PL/SQL : Function returned without value.
Error 2:
REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.
Should i use only 1 return statement?
Can i use as many return statements as i want?
What is the exact mistake? Please let me know.
Thank You.

Let me clear you the first thing...
If you get any fatal errors while running the report (e.g., function returned without value,no value etc.,) the report will show
REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.
So you just correct the function 'no_daysformula' .
First of all you run the report without that formula column.
If it works fine then , Check the return value of your formula column (Your formula column properties --> Return value --> value (It will be DATE as i think so).
As function will always return a single value, Check your formula 'no_daysformula' returns the same.
declare a return variable say for example..
DECLARE
V_DATE DATE;
BEGIN
--YOUR CODE---
RETURN V_DATE := (RETURN VALUE)
END;
Last but not least ... use Else condition to return (NULL or any value ) in your code and check..
If any Problem persists let me know

Whee the function return the value store in java

in c if i write this program
int add()
return 1;
main()
add();
if i run this program it give s error that lvalue required
but in java it works fine though the function return some value

in c if i write this program
int add()
return 1;
main()
add();
if i run this program it give s error that lvalue
requiredYou mean, if you try to run it as a C program it gave an error?
Then take your question to a "C" discussion forum. This is Java.
>
but in java it works fine though the function return some value
In Java this does NOT work fine.
It definitely does not compile! So you cannot run it.

HELP-Why won't this function return a value

I want to get this XML data OUT of the function, but it just
won't work. What I am doing wrong??? Tracing "xmlList" gives me the
output i want IN the function, but if I can't get it OUT. If i set
the function to "String", I still can't get the function to return
a value or anyway to get this data OUT of the function. Please
help.
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("data/imagesT.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):String
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children()[0].child(2);

It won't though. Tracing xmlList outside (i.e. after it runs)
the function produces null with the function set to void. Inside
the function tracing producing the correct data.

Can a function return two values???

Hi guys can a function return more than values?

Or even better return an Object.
ie
public class Tester{
     public static Multi getM()
          Multi m=new Multi();
          m.x="testing";
          m.y="new value";
     public static void main(String [] args)
          Multi mt=getM();
          System.out.println(mt.x);
          System.out.println(mt.y);
     class Multi{
          public String x;
          public String y;
}

Function returns several values

hi,
is it possible that function would return several values, for ex.:
select myfunct().val1, myfunct().val2 from dummy_table

To add to the above,
How ever, a procedure using IN OUT parameters is not useful for SELECT statements,
One way is, you could use PL/SQL tables for that, here is how you do it-- create a SQL type
create type emp_num as table of number;
-- declare an array of emp_num type and use it to store multiple values
create or replace function getemp_num(ind Number) return Number Is
   vEmpArray emp_num := emp_num();
Begin
   FOR rec in (select empno from my_emp)
   Loop
      vEmpArray.extend;
      vEmpArray(vEmpArray.count) := rec.empno;
   End loop;
   RETURN vEmpArray(ind);
End;
-- use the fn to return more than one value
select getemp_num(4), getemp_num(5) from dual;Thx,

Error with function returning "multiple" values

Hi
i am trying to write a function to return "multiple" values
however, it returned the following error during compilation
Compilation errors for FUNCTION sch1.myfn
Error: PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
Line: 19
Text: RETURN V_res;
Error: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Line: 19
Text: RETURN V_res;
ques :
1 - is there a need to always declare a table ? as it'll only return a single record with multiple columns
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE result as table of result_t;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE result_t as object
(user varchar2(100), comments varchar2(4000));
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfn (IN_ID IN VARCHAR2, IN_BEGIN IN DATE) RETURN result IS
type V_res_t is RECORD (user varchar2(100), comments varchar2(4000));
V_res V_res_t;
BEGIN
select a.user, a.comment
into V_res.user, V_res.comments
from view1 A,
(select distinct id,
begin_time,
max(time) over(order by time desc) max_time from view2 b
where id = IN_LOTID
and begin_time = IN_BEGIN) b
where a.id = b.id
and a.begin_time = b.begin_time
and a.time = max_time
and a.id = IN_ID
and a.begin_time = IN_BEGIN;
RETURN V_res; --> this is the line that the system keep complaining
END;
Note : pls ignore whether the return results is correct but i am expecting it to always return a single row
pls advise
tks & rgds

And if you really want to return a type as a table of, work with PIPELINED function :
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE result_t as object
2 (user# varchar2(100), comments varchar2(4000));
3 /
Type created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE result as table of result_t;
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfn (IN_ID IN VARCHAR2, IN_BEGIN IN DATE) RETURN result
2 pipelined is
3 user# varchar2(100);
4 comments varchar2(4000);
5 BEGIN
6 pipe row (result_t(user#,comments));
7 return;
8 END;
9 /
Function created.
SQL>PS: there is non sense to use pipelined function in my example, it is just an example to return a type as table.

Analytic Function - Return 2 values

FROM ASAP.TST_CK TST_CK
WHERE (TST_CK.IND_VALUE IS NOT NULL)
GROUP BY TST_CK.IND_VALUE

Don't forget to explain how you get the results you want from that sample data.

Why do your desired results include 'R' and 'T', but not 'X1'? Why do you want
'T,R' and not
'X1,T,R' or
'X1,T' or
'T,X1' or something else?
Whatever your reasons are, there's a good chance you'll want to use String Aggregation . Your Oracle version is always important, but it's especially important in string aggregation problems, because some helpful new functions have beeen added in recent versions. Always say which version of Oracle (e.g., 11.2.0.3.0) you're using.

NODIM function Returns wrong values?

Hi All,
We have a KF Quantity in PC and we are using NODIM(Quantity) to diaply it without units.But
NODIM(Quantity) displays wrong results.
For Example:Quantity = 3123214 PC     and NODIM(Quantity) = 3123214.123
What could be the reason for it?can anyone explain me?
Thanks

Function Does Not Return any value .

BEGIN
SELECT d.dname,e.empno
INTO v_dname ,v_empno
FROM scott.emp e , scott.dept d
WHERE e.empno=p_empno
AND d.deptno=p_deptno;
--RETURN v_dname;
IF p_empno IS NOT NULL AND p_deptno IS NOT NULL
THEN IF v_dname is NULL THEN
v_err :='Not Valid';
RETURN v_err;END IF;
ELSIF p_empno IS NOT NULL AND p_deptno IS NOT NULL
THEN IF v_dname is NOT NULL THEN
RETURN v_dname; END IF;
ELSE
RETURN v_dname;
END IF;
END;

Format you code properly and look at it:
CREATE OR REPLACE
   FUNCTION TEST_DNAME(
                       p_empno IN NUMBER,
                       p_deptno IN NUMBER
    RETURN VARCHAR2
    IS
        v_dname varchar2(50);
        v_empno varchar2(50);
        V_err varchar2(100);
        v_cnt NUMBER := 0;
    BEGIN
        SELECT d.dname,
                e.empno
          INTO v_dname,
                v_empno
          FROM scott.emp e,
                scott.dept d
          WHERE e.deptno=d.deptno
            AND e.empno=p_empno
            AND d.deptno=p_deptno;
        --RETURN v_dname;
        IF p_empno IS NOT NULL AND p_deptno IS NOT NULL
          THEN
            IF v_dname is NULL
              THEN
                v_err :='Not Valid';
                RETURN v_err;
            END IF;
        ELSIF p_empno IS NOT NULL AND p_deptno IS NOT NULL
          THEN
            IF v_dname is NOT NULL
              THEN
                RETURN v_dname;
            END IF;
         ELSE
           RETURN v_dname;
       END IF;
END;
/Both p_empno and p_deptno in
SELECT TEST_DNAME(7369,20) FROM dualare not null. So SELECT will fetch some v_dname and v_empno. Since p_empno and p_deptno iare not null your code will go inside outer IF stmt and will execute its THEN branch. That branch consist of nothing but inner IF statement. And since v_dname is NOT NULL it will bypass that inner IF and exit the outer IF. And there is no RETURN stmt after that outer IF. As a result you get what you get - ORA-06503. Also, both if and elsif in your code check same set of conditions which makes no sense.
