Re: Error, numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

Can someone please please tell me why I'm getting this error and what I'm doing wrong? It looks like a simple error, "numeric or value error: character to number conversion error".
My code is as follows:
string connectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DEMO_TEST"].ConnectionString;
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(connectionString);
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("DEMO.PKG_LOCATION_TYPE.INS", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_DESCRIPTION", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 60));
cmd.Parameters["@P_DESCRIPTION"].Value = "Test_Description";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_NAME", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 6));
cmd.Parameters["@P_NAME"].Value = "Test_Name";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_LOCATION_TYPE_CD", OracleDbType.Decimal, 4));
cmd.Parameters["@P_LOCATION_TYPE_CD"].Direction = ParameterDirection.InputOutput;
con.Open();
try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch
//In case of an error
finally
con.Close();
con.Dispose();
And I recieve the following error block:

Are the parameters in your procedure in the same order as they are created in this code? Oracle command works by position unless you change it to be BindByName.
Failing that you seem to have defined a parameter (P_NAME) to have a length of 6, and are then setting it's value to a string with a length of 9.
Also the in/output parameter is defined as type decimal. Is this correct? It is defined as InputOutput but you don't assign it any value.
If these suggestions don't help then perhaps if you post the stored procedure you might get some more ideas.

Error ORA-06502, numeric or value error character to number conversion

I have been trying to create an email including data from a table as part of the body. Whenever I try to send it, I get an error ORA-06502, numeric or value error, character to number conversion. If I take out the part referencing the table, the email will go without error, but if I put it back in I get the error.
There is the code:
DECLARE
v_email_body CLOB;
v_from_email_address VARCHAR2(100) := v('APP_USER');
v_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_email_body := 'Please pay the attached invoice from FY '||:P14_FY||' funds

This is important to my company to be able to put this data into an email. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Lets isolate the erroring line by running the code in debug mode and adding some debug lines at various stages in the code
Apex has a builtin function named wwv_flow.debug which can print messages to the debug stack and would be visible when the page is run in debug mode.
DECLARE
v_email_body CLOB;
v_from_email_address VARCHAR2(100) := v('APP_USER');
v_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
wwv_flow.debug('BEGIN');
v_email_body := 'Please pay the attached invoice from FY '||:P14_FY||' funds

Numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

I'm having problems inserting a value from a date picker field (DD-MON-YYYY HH MI )
i'm submitting this value to a packaged procedure that accepts this field as VARCHAR2 .
on the insert, i do a to_date( P_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM' )
and i get the numeric conversion error.
If I change the to_date on the procedure side, I get the :could not read the end of the format mask - which I've found threads about on this site.
I've tried using HH24 and different formats, but I get one of the two above errors on the insert.
If I don't fill in the datepicker field at all, it works fine.
help is appreciated !
Bill

PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error in TRG

Hi,
I've got strange issue with one trigger which during update of table reports (DB is 9.2.0.8):
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at "UDR_LOG", line 345
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'UDR_LOG'but line 345 is:
END IF;
so its kind of strange
the code looks like
343 IF nvl(to_char(:old.PKD_ID),'''') <> nvl(to_char(:new.PKD_ID),'''') THEN
344 v_zmn := v_zmn || 'PKD_ID''' || to_char(:old.PKD_ID) || '''' || to_char(:new.PKD_ID) || '''';
345 END IF;
so its concatenation not to_number usage .error is triggered by update statement on any column .
I'm sorry I cant provide You with whole trigger code .
So if You could only recommend any investigation method that would be great .
Regards
Greg

Hi, Greg,
When there's an error in a trigger, the line numbers in the error messages are relative to the first DECLARE or BEGIN statement; often, that's a few lines after CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER. Post a few lines after what you already posted.
If you can't find the error, then create another table for testing this, and create a smaller trigger on that table, which does only enough to cause the error. Then you'll be able to post the complete trigger, and the code needed to re-create the problem.

Only INVALID_NUMBER exception is handled and also VALUE_ERROR should be handeled. You can resolve it by handling VALUE_ERROR exception or by adding WHEN OTHERS as I did in following example.

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Apex so I decided to read and do the tutorials that are on the apex.oracle.com site.
Now I am at the tutorial 6: How to Work with Check Boxes of the Advanced Tutorials.
At a certain point you have to add a new radio button.
At the Item Source Value you have to add SELECT 'Y' FROM DUAL WHERE :P2_LIST_PRICE*0.75=:P2_MIN_PRICE.
But when I try to create the item, I keep getting the following error:

Error creating item.
Does anybody know what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Here I m passing a string variable to pass the select statement for the ref cursor.
There seems some problem in the substr conversion in the statement.

But when i run as a independent staement passing real values in the place of placeholders
i get the result right.
The *:PERIOD_NAME* format is *'Jan-2009-10'* .
And I need to pass the *:PERIOD_NAME* to the query as *'Jan-09-10'*
Pls suggest.

ORA-06502 PL/SQLnumeric or value error character to number conversion error

Hi,
I have written report in FastReport and I am using "Oracle Provider for OLE DB" for Oracle connection.
I have seen that my report throws oracle exception in some machines , so I analysed my PL/SQL and saw that problem occurs in "TO_NUMBER" function. (if i remove it exception does not occur)
However, same report works fine in another machine with the same data (same oracle provider version).
What can be the problem? What can be the dependence?
Thanks in advance
Elshan
p.s. Oracle provider version is 11.2.0.2.0

Hi ,
the reason you are gettin this error is ecause sometimes in your data you are trying to convert a character to a number. When you say it works fine in other machine dos it mean for the same data set or a different data?
If you thing that you data may conatin a character and you still need to use TO_NUMBer than you should chack the data before converting and if it is a character than you should no do the conversion.
you can use this link to chek numeris or non numeric
How to check if a field is numeric?
thanks

What is the valid values of this column that you need to use varchar2(4000)? Are you sure this column include valid numbers?

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.

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number error

Hello Gurus,
I keep getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
It happens on wizard generated tabular form.
DECLARE
v_venue_prsntd_qtr varchar2(3);
v_venue_prsntd_fy number;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f02.COUNT

             WHERE VENUE_PRSNTD_SEQNO = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03(i);
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;I am trying to update venue_prsntd_qtr. I have commented everything else out to see if I can limit where the error is coming from.
qtr is a number field in the database. I have gone back and forth with variable type in the code and still get the same error.
I am using oracle db 10g, apex 3.2.1
Thanks
Mary

Hi,
I am guessing that apex_application.g_f05 is a date field. If that is the case, you need to use to_date() before using to_char(). For example:
SELECT to_char('01-jan-10', 'MON') FROM dual -- Error!
SELECT to_char(to_date('01-jan-10'), 'MON') FROM dual -- Ok!
I hope this helps.

Error while selecting NULL value from Popup Key LOV(numeric or value error)

Hi,
I have a item P1_DEPTNO with following properties.
P1_DEPTNO - Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value)
LOV - P1_DEPT_LOV
select deptname d, deptno r from deptP1_DEPTNO item properties
List of Values
Named LOV - P1_DEPT_LOV
Display Null - Yes // changed to Yes, so that it can accept NULL values.
Null display value - NULL
Null return value -   (blank)PL\SQL Process -
declare
v1 number;
begin
if :P1_DEPTNO is null OR :P1_DEPTNO = '' then
    v1 := 0;
else
    v1 := :P1_DEPTNO;
end if;
// rest of the PL\SQL process
end;Now, when I run the page and select NULL value from Popup LOV and submit, I get the following error.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.When, I select any other value other than NULL, then it's working perfectly fine.
Only in case of NULL value, I am getting this error.
ANY idea, why this error is coming??
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Varad,
I did the following change
Null display value - (blank) // by default it is displaying '%' in the select this
Null return value - -1
but when I select % (null value) from the popup list, it displays the return value -1 in the text field.
My question is why it is displaying the return value -1 in the text field...*It should display the display value in the text field (i.e blank in this case)*
then, I did the following change
Null display value - (blank) // by default it is displaying '%' in the select this
Null return value - // a single space, so that when I select %(null value) from the list, it should display blank in the text field...
then I did the following change in the PL\SQL process.
PL\SQL process
declare
v1 number;
begin
if :P1_DEPTNO = ' ' then // -- checking the value of single space ' ' when we select %(null) in the popup list, BUT even I select %(null), control is not coming here.
    v1 := 0;
else
    v1 := :P1_DEPTNO;
end if;
// rest of the PL\SQL process
end;Thanks,
Deepak

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-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error : Not able to run a script

Hi All,
I want to run a script like this:
DECLARE
I_so_status_dtl     RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC;
BEGIN
I_so_status_dtl := RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC('0'     --Cust Order No
               ,'1000000014'     --Dest ID
               ,'100010222'     --Item ID
               ,1          --Order Line Number
               ,1          --Unit Quantity
               ,'R'          --Status
               ,'RMS12DEV'     --User ID
               ,'06-May-2001'     --Updated Date
End;
I am trying to run this script. Actually this script is supposed to generate an XML message, which I require. Here's the definition for the TYPE RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC:
create or replace TYPE RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC UNDER RIB_OBJECT (
     cust_order_nbr     VARCHAR2(10),
     dest_id     VARCHAR2(10),
     item_id     VARCHAR2(25),
     order_line_nbr     NUMBER(3),
     unit_qty     NUMBER(12,4),
     status     VARCHAR2(2),
     user_id     VARCHAR2(10),
updated_date DATE,
     overriding member procedure appendNodeValues( i_prefix in varchar2)
,constructor function RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC (rib_oid number, cust_order_nbr VARCHAR2, dest_id VARCHAR2, item_id VARCHAR2, order_line_nbr NUMBER, unit_qty NUMBER, status VARCHAR2) return self as result
,constructor function RIB_SOStatusDtl_REC (rib_oid number, cust_order_nbr VARCHAR2, dest_id VARCHAR2, item_id VARCHAR2, order_line_nbr NUMBER, unit_qty NUMBER, status VARCHAR2, user_id VARCHAR2) return self as result
This TYPE has a body which actually generates an XML message.
But whenever I am trying to run this, I am getting the following message:
Error report:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 6
06502. 00000 - "PL/SQL: numeric or value error%s"
*Cause:
*Action:
Therefore I am not able to run the following script. Here I am passing hard coded value within the TYPE, as I have run similar kind of scripts, which accepts this and creates an xml message. Can anyone help me what's the wrong with this script?
Thanks & Regards,
Debabrata

Hi,
Create one constructor same as with 8 parameters as you have constructor for only 7 and 8 9 parameters.
