Passing a CLOB data to a procedure as an input parameter

Question

Hi All,
I have a procedure to which I am passing a value as CLOB datatype. It works fine when the size of data is less than 4000 char. but in case the size is greater than 4000 characters, the procedure is throwing error.
Please help me to handle this error.
Create or Replace Procedure Test ( inp_str IN CLOB)
AS
a number;
b number;
str clob;
Begin
Begin
a:= 1;
Select INSTR(inp_str, 'var', a) into b from dual;
END;
Begin
End;
Insert into table_name values (b);
Exception
End;
exec test ('abcmndk.......................................................................................10000char');
This is the sample code. It is working fine and inserting data into table when the size of inp_str is less than or equal to 4000 char. But, when the size of inp_str is huge (>4000) then the procedure is not getting executed and its throwing error for the string passed as parameter.
Thanks in advance,
Gaurav

Nobody can guess what your are doing and what error you are facing. You need to provide more details, like the code, calling method and the exact error message.
