ORA-20001: ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine

Question

Hi, everyone!
I have an error as follow:
ORA-20001: ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-06553: PLS-123: program too large
I can get the sql where the procedure through the error, and execute the sql in sqlplus, no error. Does anyone have experience with the error? or have some direction to solve problem? thank you!
My oracle version is 9.2.0.8.0 and sdo version is 9.2.0.8.0, too.

I agree with Omar, However if you want to search using special character, you may want to look into the following example. I am not saying this may be a solution for you, however this may give you a start on how to deal with special character in you search.
In our enviroment we have "N" number of Science & Pharmacy & Chemical clients. They need the ability to search using special character for that we have done the following..
begin
select user into v_username from dual;
ctx_ddl.create_preference('orc_CTX_WLPREF', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('orc_CTX_WLPREF','SUBSTRING_INDEX','TRUE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('orc_CTX_WLPREF','WILDCARD_MAXTERMS','2559');
ctx_ddl.Create_Preference('orc_LEXER','BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.Set_Attribute('orc_LEXER', 'index_themes', 'FALSE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('orc_LEXER','printjoins','0123456789%,./?;:<>[]{}\|+=-_()*&^$#@!''"%');
end;
And then siply create the index as follow..
create index index_name on activitylog(columnname)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('Wordlist CYBERLAB_CTX_WLPREF lexer CYBERLAB_LEXER memory 48M');
then I am able to do something like the following..
select count(*) from ACTIVITYLOG where contains (DESCRIPTION, '<%.htm@') > 0;
hope this helps..
