can anybody tell me why the error is coming...?
The value for the CURSOR C2 is (-1335142)

yes correct. the procedure would have been written like this.(see cursor C1 and C2)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE L_CHECK_BAL_AMOUNT(P_TXN_CODE IN VARCHAR2,

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create an UI Template. I've generated the html using Frontpage and am successfully able to see in a browser.
    I've copied the html to the UI form, but when I try to preview or execute the UI template, I get the following error:
    Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small (WWV-11230)

    I AM FACING SIMILAR PROBLEM, THE EXACT ERROR IS:

    (SORRY , PART OF THE ERROR IS IN SPANISH!)
    I CREATED A FORM , WORKED WITH IT A LOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. NOW I NEED TO DO SOME CHANGES ON CERTAIN FIELDS AND WHEN I TRY TO SAVE IT I GET THE ABOVE ERROR.
    THEN I GO BACK TO AN OLDER VERSION, COPY AND TRY TO DO CHANGES AND AGAIN THE ERROR COMES UP.
    THE CHANGES I AM TRYING TO DO ARE TO SOME OF THE EXISTING FIELDS IN THE FORM WHICH NEED TO BE PUT AS "INSERTABLE".
    THE SCREEN LAYOUT IS DISPLAYED WITHOUT PROBLEM.
    (THE FORM IS BASED ON A TABLE WITH APROX 80 FIELDS).
    I NEED SOME URGENT HELP. PLS LET ME KNOW ANY OTHER INFO YOU MAY NEED TO HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
    FYI I AM WORKING ON PORTAL VERSION 3.0.9 / ON Windows 2000 (DATABASE 8.1.7.0 AND iAS ARE ON DIFFERENT MACHINES).

  • 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,

    -6502 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    What can I do about it???
    Thanks in advance.
    Menno Hoogsteen

    Working on the same project as Menno, I had the time to look into the problem.
    The problem is caused by the creation of the capi-function agregate_char_value in the packages hsu_capf. While creating this function the following code is executed:
    add(' -- allowable values:');
    add(' -- '||l_col_name_list);
    This last statement causes the problem because this table is very big. L_col_name_list contains 2391 characters wich is 393 characters to long. So i changed this code into:
    add(' -- allowable values:');
    add(' -- '||substr(l_col_name_list,1,1990));
    add(' -- '||substr(l_col_name_list,1990));
    and everything works fine. Perhaps something for a patch?
    Kind regards,
    Ruben Spekle

    That is not the PL/SQL block that you have run to get that error, right?
    What are the sizes of the individual variables - str1Query, str2Query etc...
    Whay are there so many variables joined together?
    That posted code cannot generate the error you posted:

    1) Create table to store the BLOB(Binary PDF documents)
    create table tbl_pdf_store(pdf_doc blob);
    2) Insert a row and store a PDF.
    3) Convert the PDF into HTML and store it in a CLOB object..
    DECLARE
    v_datablob BLOB;
    v_dataclob CLOB;
    BEGIN
    --Create temporary clob objects
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (v_dataclob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (v_datablob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
    --get the pdf to be converted from store table
    SELECT pdf_doc
    INTO v_datablob
    FROM tbl_pdf_store
    WHERE rownum < 1;
         --convert the BLOB to HTML and store it in CLOB
         ctx_doc.ifilter (v_datablob, v_dataclob);
    exception
         when others then
         dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm||' - '||sqlcode);
    end;
    Now the issue I am facing is, the above code works fine for few documents and for few others I get this cryptic error message
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 180
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DOC", line 1142
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error - -6502
    I cant reproduce the exact code here, but if anyone had faced the similar issue, then it would be great if they help me out.
    thanks,
    Prashant

    > Billy, its not just plain wrong its a sin :). "When
    others" should itself be avoided if possible(it just
    shows you don't know what error can occur). In the
    actual code, we are using separate package to handle
    and log errors. Here it was just for simplification I
    added that putline code.
    Phew.. You had me worried there... :-)
    > I ran my procedure in debug mode and it throws this
    exception when its executing the Oracle API
    ctx_doc.ifilter
    And there is very little you can do debugging that, as that source code is encoded (wrapped).
    Which means that unfortunately you have to treat that code as a black box and investigate the bug with respects to:
    a) the "environment" from which the call is made (ito of session settings, the sequence of calls made, etc)
    b) the data and parameters passed
    > this is not the case with all the PDFs..I was able to
    convert more than 11 thousand documents without any
    issues. I have this for only few hundred documents.
    This would seem to point to a bug in Oracle's CTX conversion/filter code. Maybe those PDFs are a newer version and is not correctly supported. Maybe they're an older version that is not supported.
    Which is why I said you need to isolate the error. Determine which PDFs are failing. Create a test harness (simplified code as you've posted) to perform a conversion (and nothing else).
    Determine which PDFs fail and which works. Look at the differences between PDFs. E.g. can those problem PDFs be opened with different Acrobat Reader version - or do some of them fail?
    > Another issue is I cannot view the content of the
    these documents to check if anything is different :(.
    You can with Acrobat Reader.. right?
    > so no sure how to go from here...is there a
    printstack method in Oracle 9i(similar to 10g I
    guess) which can give me more information as I am
    currently lost and not sure where to look.
    Dumping the stack will not be of much help. In fact, the error message sequence you pasted already show the call sequence. And as these are in Oracle PL/SQL code, there is nothing really you can do about it.
    My suggestion is to
    a) isolate the error
    b) consult the manual(s) to ensure that the Oracle PL/SQL s/w is used correctly
    c) determine if this is data related (e.g. different PDF versions for example)
    d) log a SR (Service Request) with Oracle Support
    The more you can do ito of (a) - (c), the better the chance for finding the root cause, and the quicker resolution when you have no choice but to do (d).

  • Difficulty in resolving ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:

    Hi
    I am having great difficulty to resolve the following error - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small . In my Oracle Package, I have a Function that returns a varchar(255).
    My Function is basically as follows:
    FUNCTION GetUserDept (DeptNum IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2
    IS
    deptname varchar(255);
    BEGIN
    SELECT name INTO deptname
    FROM depts
    where id = DeptNum;
    RETURN deptname
    END;
    The SQL is running correctly and returns one result, which is what I want. However, when I call the function in my .NET C# code, this is when I am seeing the error message.
    In my code, I said that the commandtype is a stored procedure, passed the parameters, and add it to to the parameters, with the return type and direction put first and executed as a scalar. The code executes, and then fails at the ExecuteScalar line, and it is at this point on my exception handler that I see the error message ORA-6502.
    This really odd, because I have two other functions that return numbers, and I have executed them in the same way, and theses works!
    I have checked my function and can't see what is wrong, and I have tried changing the return type from varchar2 to NVarchar on the return type, but this made no difference.
    This problem has really dogged me for hours and I cannot see how to resolve it.
    Can someone, please help me?

  • 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.

  • Issue in appending the LOBs -ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

    Hi
    I am using Oracle 11g.
    I have a requirement in which I have to append LOBs and I have to insert the LOB into a table column. I am facing problem when the data exceeds certain limit. My program works like the below:
    (please note that my program logic is given below, not the exact program)
    DECLARE
    final_html CLOB;
    int_html CLOB;
    v_str VARCHAR2(32767);
    i number:=0;
    BEGIN
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => int_html, CACHE => TRUE, dur => dbms_lob.CALL);
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => final_html, CACHE => TRUE, dur => dbms_lob.CALL);
    DBMS_LOB.OPEN(int_html, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
    DBMS_LOB.OPEN(final_html, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
    dbms_output.ENABLE(1000000);
    FOR i IN 1..100 loop
    v_str := '<tr>' ||
    '<td style="WORD-WRAP: break-word" width="50"><font size="2">' ||
    i || '</font></td>' ||
    '</tr>';
    dbms_lob.writeappend(lob_loc => int_html, amount => LENGTH(v_str), BUFFER => v_str);
    END LOOP;
    dbms_output.put_line( 'The length of int_html is:'||dbms_lob.getlength(int_html));
    dbms_output.put_line( 'The int_html is:'||int_html);
    final_html:= '<html>'||int_html||'</html>';

    DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (final_html);
    DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(int_html);
    DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(final_html);
    END;
    when the looping is done for lesser value say for e.g FOR i IN 1..10 loop, the program works fine, but when the looping is done for more values I am getting "-6502-ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" error message.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards,
    Sri

    Can you please specify in which environment you are executing this ?
    I modified your code as follows
    The code executed successfully until the length was <= 32767 i.e ( until FOR i IN 1..1092)
    Also, you need to use the APPEND function to concatenate clob variables.
    Please verify the default max size for varchar2 or dbms_output in your server since you get the error for just the loop within the range (FOR i IN 1..100) .
    And yes, the comments from Siva are valid.

  • Invalid function body condition: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:

    I'm trying to customize my link column on an interactive report to branch to another page in my application based on a pl/sql call. My condition type for the link column is pl/sql function body returning a boolean. I'm calling a packaged function that returns a boolean but receive the following error:
    Invalid function body condition: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    This is my code:
    return files_util.list_files('test','test');
    I've tried running the same code in sqlplus and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    It turns out I had multiple issues. I thought the code I was running for the link column would be executed and let me branch to another page to view the results of my pl/sql code. It appears that the pl/sql code for the link column only controls whether the link is displayed or not. The reason for the ora-6502 was because a variable in my pl/sql function was not large enough to hold a value based on the userid signing onto the application. I'm using database authentication so I thought that the userid in apex would be my database userid which is only 4 characters. The userid actually used is apex_public_user which caused by ora-6502 error.

    There is not a chance in the world, especially not knowing column definitions that I, and I suspect most anyone else, is going to wade through this much unformated code looking for an error you couldn't bother to copy in full.
    Either tell us, specifically, the line on which the error is occurring or, better yet, start whacking stuff out of your code until you find the offending definition. That is certainly what I would do. Commenting out sections is a marvelous way to quickly find an issue.
    Before you post again please read the FAQ. It will explain to you how to properly post and use the tags.

    86 options sounds on the low side to be hitting that limit, but there are other concerns to this as well. Scrolling through hundreds/thousands of options in a select list is a pain for users, and huge select lists produce bloated pages that impact load times and network bandwidth. That list of around 200 countries you find on many sites is about the sensible maximum length for a select list.
    You should use popups.Indeed.

    I think its better you use APEX 4.x version ratherthan using old version.
    You will get more features and some bug fixes and also it's easy for you to get some help when you need.
