Sequence/Procedure does not work

Question

Hello guys! I have a huge question. I am working on a database that someone developed a couple of years ago.
Today I stumbled across a table and tried to insert data via an Apex frontend. The data was saved properly into the respective Table "TBL_TOTHOLZ".
However, the field CNT_TOTHOLZ was not filled and consequently Null.
Since the data is deleted via Apex using the CNT_TOTHOLZ value, the deletion cannot be performed.
I found a procedure and related sequence, which I checked are all valid according to Oracle Development Manager.
Since I tried to enter data manually into the table without using Apex I fear I might have crashed something. The table was altered as well. However, I reverted the change (I had added one column) of the table and also dropped and rebuilt the sequence using a far higher number for the nextval than the highest previous number that was stored in the table.
All those changes didn't cause anything. The field CNT_Totholz is still Null when adding a record.
Can you guys please help me and give me a hint as why this is so?! I'm lost this evening and don't know what else to try.
The procedure is as follows:
create or replace
PROCEDURE PR_In_TBL_TOTHOLZ(
  P_cnt_Totholz   IN   NUMBER,
  P_lng_Punkt   IN   NUMBER,
  P_bool_Stehend   IN   NUMBER,
  P_int_BHD   IN   NUMBER,
  P_int_Mittendurchmesser   IN   NUMBER,
  P_int_Hoehe   IN   NUMBER,
  P_int_Laenge   IN   NUMBER,
  P_lng_Baumartengruppe   IN   NUMBER ,
  P_INT_BEZUG in Number) AS
BEGIN
  DECLARE
   PRM_cnt_Totholz      NUMBER(12) ;
   PRM_lng_Punkt      NUMBER(12) ;
   PRM_bool_Stehend      NUMBER(7) ;
   PRM_int_BHD      NUMBER(10) ;
   PRM_int_Mittendurchmesser      NUMBER(10) ;
   PRM_int_Hoehe      NUMBER(10) ;
   PRM_int_Laenge      NUMBER(10) ;
   PRM_lng_Baumartengruppe      NUMBER(12) ;
   PRM_INT_BEZUG   NUMBER(4) ;
  /* Variable to save the record for the primary key  */
  PK_INDEX     NUMBER(12) ;
  BEGIN
    PRM_cnt_Totholz    := P_cnt_Totholz;
    PRM_lng_Punkt    := P_lng_Punkt;
    PRM_bool_Stehend    := P_bool_Stehend;
    PRM_int_BHD    := P_int_BHD;
    PRM_int_Mittendurchmesser    := P_int_Mittendurchmesser;
    PRM_int_Hoehe    := P_int_Hoehe;
    PRM_int_Laenge    := P_int_Laenge;
    PRM_lng_Baumartengruppe    := P_lng_Baumartengruppe;
    PRM_INT_BEZUG  := P_INT_BEZUG  ;
  /* No value must be given to the index  */
  IF PRM_cnt_Totholz IS NOT NULL THEN
     PK_Index :=  PRM_cnt_Totholz;
  ELSE
     SELECT SEQ_TBL_TOTHOLZ.NEXTVAL INTO PK_Index FROM DUAL;
  END IF;
  INSERT INTO tbl_Totholz (
  cnt_Totholz ,
  lng_Punkt ,
  bool_Stehend ,
  int_BHD ,
  int_Mittendurchmesser ,
  int_Hoehe ,
  int_Laenge ,
  lng_Baumartengruppe,
  INT_BEZUG)
  VALUES (
    PK_INDEX ,
    PRM_lng_Punkt,
    PRM_bool_Stehend,
    PRM_int_BHD,
    PRM_int_Mittendurchmesser,
    PRM_int_Hoehe,
    PRM_int_Laenge,
    PRM_lng_Baumartengruppe,
    PRM_INT_BEZUG) ;
  END;
END;It would be awesome if you could help me! Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

@ Centinul
Sorry for not having obliged the rules! I edited the post as requested.
To your question. I didn't find any code calling the code I posted. It should be listed under the depending objects in the Development Manager I suppose.
Thought that the procedure is started automatically on insert. I'm very new to oracle and still figuring out most of the things! So please excuse me!
Here are examples for the values that are passed to from the form to the table:
INSERT INTO tbl_Totholz (
  cnt_Totholz ,
  lng_Punkt ,
  bool_Stehend ,
  int_BHD ,
  int_Mittendurchmesser ,
  int_Hoehe ,
  int_Laenge ,
  lng_Baumartengruppe,
  INT_BEZUG)
  VALUES (
    PK_INDEX >>> Integer created by sequence,
    PRM_LNG_PUNKT>>>Integer e.g. 22266,
    PRM_bool_Stehend>>> Bool Yes/No e.g. -1,
    PRM_int_BHD>>> Integer e.g. 20,
    PRM_int_Mittendurchmesser>>>Integer e.g. 30,
    PRM_int_Hoehe>>>Integer e.g. 500,
    PRM_int_Laenge>>>Integer e.g. 1000,
    PRM_lng_Baumartengruppe>>>Integer e.g. 2,
    PRM_INT_BEZUG)>>> don't know ;Nevertheless I think that the CNT_TOTHOLZ value should be generated automatically using the sequence once a dataset is inserted. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Thanks for your answer!
