Replicating database, a function fails in replica

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to duplicate a database. I exported/imported some schemas to make it work with no problems, but I have a package function failing in its execution.
The function has a cursor used in a for statement. The query looks like:
SELECT number_field as field1, trim(mun_nom2_part||' '||mun_nom2) AS field2, varchar2_4length_field as field3
from table1 ...
union
SELECT number_field as field1, trim(mun_nom2_part||' '||mun_nom2) AS field2, varchar2_4length_field as field3
from table2 ...
union
SELECT number_field as field1, trim(mun_nom2_part||' '||mun_nom2) AS field2, varchar2_4length_field as field3
from table3 ...
order by field2
Results look like:
     0             ADMINISTRATOR                     0
     8995386    Btenhs je Cas                     7185
     1421397    Hracolters                             7370
     16919       Grntdetf t Xrists                     7446

     12683904  Trageà gr Gpm                     7510
     625498      Feng Tguagóz gw Kcgis        8981
     2492617    Hyxte Ivloya ef Plahogtt     8993It executes OK in the original database, but it fails in the replica with an ORA-06502 error. If I execute the select, it's OK on both databases and the result in both is equal, but when looping the cursor it fails in the 7th row in the copy.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Ok. The complete code looks like:
FUNCTION foo RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    a_variable VARCHAR2(32000):='';
     b_variable NUMBER:=0;
     c_variable NUMBER;
       CURSOR cEntorns IS
SELECT some_col AS idMun, 'SOME TEXT' AS nom, '0' AS codidep
     FROM A_TABLE, B_TABLE, C_TABLE
     WHERE adm_cu = some_value.defined.outside
        AND ADM_MUN = 0
        AND adm_id=mov_idobj
        AND mov_estat = eob_id
        AND eob_estat_resum='1'
        AND mov_ultim=1
     UNION
SELECT some_col AS idMun, 'OTHER TEXT' AS nom, '1' AS codidep
     FROM A_TABLE, B_TABLE, H_TABLE
     WHERE adm_cu = some_value.defined.outside
        AND ADM_MUN = 1
        AND adm_id=mov_idobj
        AND mov_estat = eob_id
        AND eob_estat_resum='1'
        AND mov_ultim=1
     UNION
SELECT some_col AS idMun, trim(mun_nom2_part||' '||mun_nom2) AS nom, A_COLUMN AS codidep
     FROM A_TABLE, B_TABLE, C_TABLE, D_TABLE,
            E_TABLE, F_TABLE, G_TABLE, H_TABLE
     WHERE adm_cu = some_value.defined.outside
        AND ADM_MUN <> 0
        AND ADM_MUN <> 1
        AND ADM_MUN = MUN_ID

        AND ens_codi=egi_ens

        AND mun_codi=ens_codmun
   UNION
      SELECT some_col AS idMun, trim(mun_nom2_part||' '||mun_nom2) AS nom, A_COLUMN AS codidep

        AND mun_prov=ens_codPro
        AND mun_codi=ens_codmun
    ORDER BY
          nom;
BEGIN
  BEGIN
   a_variable := a_variable || '<VALUES>';
   FOR entorn IN cEntorns LOOP
       a_variable := a_variable || '<VALUE>';
       IF (entorn.idMun = 0) THEN
          a_variable := a_variable ||  '<ID>0</ID>';
          a_variable := a_variable||  '<NOM>SOME TEXT</NOM>';
       ELSIF (entorn.idMun = 1) THEN
          a_variable:= a_variable||  '<ID>1</ID>';
          a_variable:= a_variable||  '<NOM>OTHER TEXT</NOM>';
          b_variable:=1;
       ELSE
              a_variable:= a_variable||  '<ID>' || entorn.idMun || '</ID>';
              a_variable:= a_variable||  '<NOM>' || entorn.nom || '</NOM>';
       END IF;
       a_variable := a_variable|| '</VALUE>';
   END LOOP;
   if b_variable =0 THEN
         SELECT count(*)
         into c_variable
             FROM A_TABLE, B_TABLE, C_TABLE
             WHERE prf_cu = some_value.defined.outside
                and prf_mun=1
                AND prf_id=mov_idobj
                AND mov_estat = eob_id
                AND eob_estat_resum='1'
                AND mov_ultim=1;
         if c_variable <> 0 then
           a_variable := a_variable|| '<VALUE>';
           a_variable:= a_variable||  '<ID>1</ID>';
           a_variable:= a_variable||  '<NOM>OTHER TEXT</NOM>';

         end if;
   END IF;
   a_variable:= a_variable|| '</VALUES>';
   EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
       nError:=SQLCODE;
       tError:=SQLERRM;
  END;
  RETURN a_variable;
END;The code does different actions, but the error is in the for loop. As I said, it fails when fetches a row with the value in the column 'nom' exceeds 19 characters.
