REP-2103 Column 'G_LINE_TOTAL' : PL/SQL formula returned invalid value

I'm getting the above error message for printing of certain invoices. Most invoices work/print just fine. What's puzzling to me is that this error message says that COLUMN 'G_LINE_TOTAL' returns an invalid value. However, I don't have a column called G_LINE_TOTAL. I do have a group called G_LINE_TOTAL. I've looked at all functions within that group but can't find anything. I've got exception handling in all of the functions but no exception get's listed. Does anyone have any idea how I can go about troubleshooting/fixing this problem?
thanks
John

I appreciate the feedback. Those are all the things I have looked at already. I think this problem is being masked by another problem. The report works most of the time. The existence of certain transactions is causing the report to fail and to provide a misleading error message. I have never seen a GROUP column ( doesn't really exist!). The datavalues from these other transactions are exceedingly large. I'm going through each funtion now and increasing the return sizes. The error message keeps shifting around to other columns almost as if the report is somewhat corrupt ... still runs thoug for most invoice printing. I'll keep hacking away at this.
Thanks again.

REP-2103: PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value

Hi all,
Before clone the report GEPS FA Prepare Mass Addition Report runs fine. But after cloned from production, it shows error:
Enter Password:
REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file.
REP-2103: Column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE' : PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value.
REP-0069: Internal error
REP-57054: In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
REP-2103: Column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE' : PL/SQL formula returned invalid value or no value.
Actually I didn't have such column 'G_MASS_ADDITION_INVOICE'. This is a group name. I tried a lot, such as widden the formula column width or delete the formula column, but it still show this error. I didn't have any trigger or other formula column. Even I create a new report use the same name with a single query( select sysdate from dual), but it still shows the same error.
Is there anyone faced this issue before or can help me ? Thanks

REP-1401: 'no_daysformula':Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ora-06503: PL/SQL : Functio returned without value. REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this code below?
Code:
function NO_DAYSFormula return Number is
begin
IF TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_FR_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR') =TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:ACCT_OPN_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR')
AND :P_TO_DT<:MATURITY_DATE
AND :ACCT_OPN_DT>:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_TO_DT-:ACCT_OPN_DT+1);
ELSIF TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_FR_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR') =TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:ACCT_OPN_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR')
AND :P_TO_DT<:MATURITY_DATE
AND :ACCT_OPN_DT<:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_FR_DT-:P_TO_DT+1);
ELSIF TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_FR_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR') =TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:ACCT_OPN_DT, 'DD-MM-RRRR'), 'RRRR')
AND :P_TO_DT>:MATURITY_DATE
AND :ACCT_OPN_DT<:P_FR_DT
THEN RETURN (:P_FR_DT-:MATURITY_DATE+1);
END IF;
END;
It gets compiled successfully but when i run the report, i get 2 errors.
Error 1:
REP-1401: 'no_daysformula':Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ora-06503: PL/SQL : Function returned without value.
Error 2:
REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.
Should i use only 1 return statement?
Can i use as many return statements as i want?
What is the exact mistake? Please let me know.
Thank You.

Let me clear you the first thing...
If you get any fatal errors while running the report (e.g., function returned without value,no value etc.,) the report will show
REP-0619: You cannot run without a layout.
So you just correct the function 'no_daysformula' .
First of all you run the report without that formula column.
If it works fine then , Check the return value of your formula column (Your formula column properties --> Return value --> value (It will be DATE as i think so).
As function will always return a single value, Check your formula 'no_daysformula' returns the same.
declare a return variable say for example..
DECLARE
V_DATE DATE;
BEGIN
--YOUR CODE---
RETURN V_DATE := (RETURN VALUE)
END;
Last but not least ... use Else condition to return (NULL or any value ) in your code and check..
If any Problem persists let me know

Help with an SQL Expression - Return field value where Datetime is Min or First datetime

Hello,
I'm extracting results for a patient population.
I have 6 SQL expressions that pull back the first date for specific procedures or Medications being ordered.
These Expressions work perfect - One of the expressions return the first time a lab was ordered.
I'm using SQL that return
Min(OrderDatetime)
From OrderTable
Where
LABCode = XXX
I've now been ask to return the value of this lab result.
Question: How do I write an SQL expression that return the Lab value of the Min(OrderDatetime)
Example Data
PATID* LABID * OrderDatetime * ResultValue
Pat1*133 * 12/12/2013 11:00:pm * 77
Pat1*145 * 12/12/2013 11:45:pm * 45
Pat1*147 * 12/13/2013 12:10:AM * 78
I was to return 77
Thanks

Multiple column heading for sql that returns single column

Hi All,
I have just started using APEX and my apex version is 3.2.0.00.27.
We have a report that displays the output from a query similar to the below one. We are using borderless template and removed the "before each row" and "after each row" values to allow the output displayed in table format.
Now we wanted to include heading for each column displayed in table. We wanted to include headings from a derived value, Example for column1 , heading need to display the sysdate and column2 heading should be sysdate-1 and so on. But the column attribute tab is having only one column My_rep. Not sure how to se pl/sql type column heading in this case. Could someone please help me to achieve this?
Please let me know if I have missed to provide any other details. Thanks in advance.

    <td>' || column1    || '</td>' ||
    <td>' || column2    || '</td>' ||

I have just started using APEX and my apex version is 3.2.0.00.27.
Upgrading from this unsupported version to the current 4.2 release is recommended.
When you post a question, always include the following information in addition to the full APEX version number:
Full database version, edition and host OS
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener), server platform, and host OS
Browser(s)/version(s) used
UI/Theme
Templates
Region type (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. To get a detailed answer then it's appropriate for the questioner to take on a significant part of the effort by reproducing the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which can then be seen at first hand in a real APEX environment.

Rep=2103 error message in oracle 10g

Hi After migrating from 6i to 10g I am getting the following msg when I try to generate a report:
rep-2103: column 'cf_street_address' : pl/sql formula returned invalid value or no value
I have the following code in my function:
function CF_street_addressFormula return VARCHAR2 is
begin
return(:address_line_1||' '||:address_line_2||' '||:address_line_3||' '||:address_line_4);
end;
Please help.

I'm using Reports 9.0.4.0.19 and I recreated the scenario without any issues. I'm just wondering what would happen if you wrapped the :address_lines in nvl's in case 10g cares.
return(nvl(:address_line_1,' ')||' '||nvl(:address_line_2,' ')||' '||nvl(:address_line_3,' ')||' '||nvl(:address_line_4,' '));
Sorry, I could reproduce the problem.

Please help I am stuck with this problem for days now
Thanks in advance...

Since your function worked with the constant value, its not the issue related to migration, otherwise it will not have worked. So it must be related to data. What is the precision for your formula column ? Is it wide enough to accept the output?
Still if you want to know how you can delete and create the formula, then go to the property pallete of the formula column , click button in front of PL/SL Formula and then delete that function.
To create the formula, follow the same steps, when you click the PL/SL Formula button, you will be able to create
the function.

How do I return a value from a column based on info from neighboring columns?

I have a table of data that looks similar to this:

It's a very large table, so there will be multiple matches for Schools, and occasionally a few matches for Names, but there will always be only one match for a given Weight and Division.
In a separate table, how can I get the name of the person associated with the unique weight and division?
In my head, the formula goes" "Look in the Weight column to find 106, then look in the Division column to find 4, then return the value from the Name column." But I can't figure out the formula that will do that.
Any thoughts?

Hi momogabi,
This can be easily done with an index column.
The formula I used in your original table for the index column is:
=A2&"-"&D2. This was filled down. The column can be hidden.
You can see the formula in the search table. If I wanted to eliminate the index column in that table the formula would look something like:
=INDEX('Table 1-1'::B,MATCH(A2&"-"&B2,'Table 1-1'::E,0),1)
Hope this helps.

I want to input two values, AWG and mils and return the value in the Days column.
In the instance of what I am showing .... AWG=2 AND mils=320 so Soak=110 ....
I want to search the columns (AWG) AND (mils) to return a value in the column (Days) for that row into cell H10 (Soak) ...
So far I have toyed with LOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH ....

SCW,
I'm sure there is a clever way to cascade functions to avoid adding an auxiliary column in your practice table, but to me it wouldn't be worth the aggravation. I would add a column that concatenates Columns A & B, AWG & mils. This column can be anywhere and would be Hidden. Let's say your new column is Column N.
In Column N, fill the body rows with:
=A&"-"&B
As good Numbers programming form would indicate, let's name the Practice Table Practices and only put the practices in that table. In another table where you do the lookup, let's call it Program, we will have the calculation/lookup.
Based on your example, I'd guess that AWG may be in Column D and mils in Column E of your Program table, and the Soak lookup in Column F. If I'm wrong, adjust the column id.
In Column F, write:
=OFFSET(Practices::I$1,MATCH(D&"-"&E, Practices::N,0)−1, 0)
The hyphen in the concatenated representation of the combination of AWG and mils is just tp make it more readable.
As I'm sure you know, you could use other approaches, but since I had you put your aux column at the end of your Practices table, OFFSET with MATCH is a clean approach. INDEX could be used too.
Here's an illustration:

ORA-06503: Function returned without value at WWV_FLOW_WEBSERVICES_API

Hi, I use APEX_WEB_SERVICE.MAKE_REQUEST function to call web service however stuck with ORA-06503 exception. It would be nice to hear comment from someone who knows APEX_WEB_SERVICE from inside.
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WEBSERVICES_API", line 125
ORA-06512: at "NEC_VLD.NEC_DVS_WS", line 77
The error occurs about 60% of my test case calls and always with the same parameter values. I thought something bad on web service side however I've tested it with the same parameter values on SoapUI tool and it works just fine. The parameter itself is fixed length varchar2 variable (e.g. 636BB6EFF19941420F00010000007B00000000000000).
My environments

Never mind sorry! I've just tried granting APEX_040000 permissions for this particular Network ACL and now it works! Can I suggest that apex_web_service.make_request needs some better error handling however.
Here's the fix...
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
      acl       => 'mywebservice.xml'
    , principal => 'APEX_040000'
    , is_grant => TRUE
    , privilege => 'connect'
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
      acl       => 'mywebservice.xml'
    , principal => 'APEX_040000'
    , is_grant => TRUE
    , privilege => 'resolve'
COMMIT;
END;
