Ora-25153 - temporary-tablespace-is-empty-error-in-oracle/

Question

I get this error after I run my stored procedure.Surprisingly I expec this kind of error before one record could be inserted into any table in the DB.
In my stored procedure ,
a) I first insert a record in a table and then do a insert
select count(*) into l_count from emp;
--this record is inserted.
insert into employee values(lcount);
commit;
b) do more insert inside a loop
loop
--error happens inside the loop
insert into salary values ....
end loop
c) commit outside the loop
The error happens somewhere inside the loop.
Shouldnt I have got the error in the first insert itself ?
Thanks

Hans I know the error and the way to correct
it....but what about my question
1)Why the administrator got the dbms_output error
from PLSQL displayed in SQL PLUS consoleWhat is your understanding of SET SERVEROUTPUT ON in SQLPlus and it's interaction with the DBMS_OUTPUT package?

2)why I didnt get to see the error in my sql plus
console (may be I didnt execute set serveroupt on)

3)why the error was not raised when I inserted one
record in a table ,but gave an error when I entered
the loop (multiple insert/read/delete etc)
Pure speculation here (neds testing by using the loop and determining WHEN it crashes):
Perhaps because temp segments are initially in the PGA and are only written to physical disk (temp tablespace) later. For a single insert, there is no issue - clean PGA, clean 'private' temp segment and away we go. As soon as row 'n' is inserted, the direct access page needs to be backed to temp tablespace and a write occurs.
