Shuttle Demo Throws Error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: Character buffer too small

Hello All.
I am using Carl Backstrom's wonderful shuttle demo in my APEX 2.2 application and am running into this Oracle error "Character string buffer too small". My plsql code is:
DHTML_SHUTTLE (
'select func,func_id from phone_functions where rownum < 676 order by func',
'select a.func,a.func_id from phone_functions a, function_phones b where a.func_id = b.func_id and b.phone_id = 2010 order by func',
'1',
'2',
'Y',
'Y',
'N',
'150',
'350',
v('WORKSPACE_IMAGES'),
'first.png',
'previous.png',
'next.png',
'last.png',
'refresh.png',
'shuttleRightAll.png',
'shuttleRight.png',
'shuttleLeft.png',
'shuttleLeftAll.png'
I put in the rownum < 676 ti test out how many rows of data it will allow me to
output into the first select list box. I can go only upto 675 rows. After this I always get the error. The column FUNC is defined as varchar2(255). However,
it's largest value is about 60 bytes.
Does anyone know how to overcome this error. I have over 1000 rows I need to display in the list box.
Thank you.
Elie

Hello,
What is the limit on the number of
bytes/characters one may use in your
shuttle list boxes.Not sure but it's probably the hard 32k limit in which case try the solution that Scott posted above and see if that helps/
Also, is it possible to create multiple shuttle 2-box
combinations in different
regions on the same APEX page? Would not the
underlying plsql arrays
become "confused" as to what data is in what array?
Yes you can have more that one set of shuttle on a page. If you look here
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9655:7
all you have to do is change the pID_1 and pID_2 to a unique integer per each shuttle.
pID_1 = Form element name. For example, 1 equals F01 and 2 equals F02.
pID_2 = Form element name. For example, 1 equals F01 and 2 equals F02.
Here's an example of two shuttles in a page, you can see the client side works fine though I didn't change the save procedure it would work as well. http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9655:6

Any Ideas?

A select list is limited in size. I am not sure what the limit is but that is definitelly the case.The maximum size for the HTML generated for a select list is 32K.
86 options sounds on the low side to be hitting that limit, but there are other concerns to this as well. Scrolling through hundreds/thousands of options in a select list is a pain for users, and huge select lists produce bloated pages that impact load times and network bandwidth. That list of around 200 countries you find on many sites is about the sensible maximum length for a select list.
You should use popups.Indeed.

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.
* If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string bu

We face the above error in HTMLDB (APEX) application Ver 3.1.0. This occurs when we try to display more number of rows/records in drop-down list (LOV in tabular forms). We are able to display 200 records in LOV. When the list of records exceeds 230, we face the below error
report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
the values listed in LOV are from tables (one of the columns in table)
Could anyone give us a solution?

Hi
As you are using a tabular form, you could actually do the following:
1 - In the tabular form column's attributes, set the following:
Display as: Select List (query based on LOV)
Display extra values: Yes
List of values definition: SELECT null d, null r FROM DUAL
2 - Add a new page item and set it to generate your select list
3 - Create an HTML region with no template and use the following for its source:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadList(c, l)
var s = document.getElementsByName(c);
var lItem = document.getElementById(l);
var lLength = lItem.options.length;
var k;
var j;
var x = lItem.innerHTML;
var v;
var o;
var z;
for (k = 0; k < s.length; k++)
z = s[k];
v = z.value;
z.options.length = 0;
for (j = 0; j < lLength; j++)
o = new Option()
o.value = lItem[j].value;
o.text = lItem[j].text;
z.options[j] = o;
z.value = v;
if (z.selectedIndex == -1)
z.selectedIndex = 0;
loadList("f05", "P1_MGR");
</script>
(Change "f05" and "P1_MGR" as appropriate to your column and your new page item respectively)
Now, when you load the page, the select list contains a null entry plus the entry already on the database. The javascript kicks in automatically, loops through every entry in the "f05" column, copies the existing value, replaces the select list with the new page item version and sets its value to the copied value.
Your new page item could be in a DIV tag that has a style of "display:none" to hide it from view.

Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table k

Hi everybody,
I have two Distinct Databases on two distinct servers. (Oracle Ent. Release 10.2.0.3.0 on AIX 5.3). After I install the latest patch last week, One of the APEX installation has some problems on Home>Application Builder Page. The error message is very random and
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value.
When i change the view (details to icons), everything goes to normal. This error message is reflected some of the pages (report region) of some of my applications randomly. When it appears in a report region, i deselect the order method of the region, the result is normal.
But the other APEX application on the other instance has no problem. It is a bug? or Should i re-install the APEX instance?
Thank you for your interest?

No, but we have a reproducible test case now so we're working on it. See ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value

Hi,
I am trying toceate an interface which collects data from database make some transformation and populated seeded tables in the same database.
My Approach is :
a) Create a record type variable ( concists of multiple segments)
b) Create a pl/sql table type of the records type in a)
c) Created a cursor of same structure as pl/sql table type ( collects data)
d) BULK CoLLECT data from cursor into pl/sql table
e) Print the data
But during Bulk Collect i get the below error :

Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error while fetch LONG datatype

Hello All,
I have written a script to fetch the text for a view in PLSQL and it gives me the following error :
Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
declare
l_text all_views.text%type;
begin
SELECT text INTO l_text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error : '||sqlerrm);
end;
The above works for some views and not view other views. Can anyone let me know what could be the reason for ORA-06502 when fetching into a long variable in PLSQL.
Would appreciate any response.
Thanks,

If view 'XXVIEW' contains "no record" for field "text" then it'll show this error.
I mean "SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';" returns "No record found" then how can you assign "no record" to a variable "l_text ".
try to execute : SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
What does it give you? any "Blank records"?

Hi,
I am running a loop to just spool output data using 'dbms_output.put_line' and I keep getting this error after a few records. I resorted it and it happen at a different interval. Could it have to do with the length of the item I am trying to spool? Thanks.

Package will allow to download the spread shreet. If i try to pass the a complex query to package it is returning error as mentioned below
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
In the above package there is a procedure called procedure excel_content which actuall prints the data in the spread sheet this is where the error is coming from there is a variable called vsql have declared it as clob to hold large string but still i am getting the same error when trying to pass a big string.
Please check the error and let me know.

Hi,
Is this behavior consistent or intermittent?
If intermitten, and your db is 9206, you're likely encountering the following rdbms bug:
Bug.4015165 (74) REGRN SCALAR VARCHAR2 IN BINDS WITH DIFFERENT SIZE RANDOMLY FAILS WITH ORA-06502
and should be resolved by patching your database.
I'm not sure why, but ODP seems to encounter this bug a lot more than other drivers.
If not intermittent, or if you are using a current patch level of database, a complete testcase would probably be best.
Cheers,
Greg

Disco for Oracle Apps with Scheduling not in Apps ~ Throws Error ORA-06502

Hi All,
I have had an SR with Oracle for almost 1/2 year now to set-up scheduling with the scheduling schema not being Apps. They have not been able to fix this yet.
I have used note 757831.1. When I try to set-up a schedule that is recurring, the following error is thrown: ORA-06502.
Does any one have a success story associated with setting-up scheduling in a Disco Oracle Apps end user layer where the scheduling schema is not apps?
Thanks,

You may want to zero in on the part of the code that throws this error.
(i)
Try executing a small part of your code, while commenting out the rest. If that is successful, execute a slightly bigger part of the code, and so on successively. Once you know, where exactly the code is failing, it should be easier to create a small testcase against your data and investigate the problem.
(ii)
Check those local variables and the values that get assigned to them. It is a good practice to anchor local variables to database columns. That way, there will be less surprises when the table structures are altered.
(iii)
The script as such does not show any glaring error, but you may want to check those procedure calls e.g. -
      hz_Location_v2Pub.Update_Location(fnd_aPi.g_True,l_Location_rec,l_Object_Version_Number,
                                        l_aPi_Status,l_msg_Count,l_msg_Data);It's quite possible that the procedure is assigning a value to an output parameter that is too small to store that.
Note that, given such a huge script and not knowing your database, we are not particularly inclined to debug it. The only person who can make things easier for himself/herself is you.

Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

In a report region of an apex application I have 41 rows of data displayed, I want to provide subtotals split out by project, I have achieved this by using break formatting, however once all rows have been retrieved the above error is displayed and the user can the not navigate back through to the first rows, any help would be appreciated.

This problem was resolved by re-ordring the columns in the select statement of the report to match the display order

ORA-06502: PL/SQL :character string buffer too small

Dear Sir,
Hi, in htmldb I am trying to create package body, but when I select the package name which I already have the specification part for it, and click next I got this error.
what should I do please help thanks

What do you mean "execute the package"?
Your parenthetical suggests that you want to compile the package body in the SQL Commands window. If that is the case, just type all that code in there and click the Run button (everything from "create or replace up to but not necessarily including the slash ('/') after the last "end" statement.
If you mean "execute" then you can run any of the functions or procedures in the package (after it is compiled) in the SQL Commands window using PL/SQL anonymous blocks.
