Sql Query (updateable Report) returning ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value

Hi I have a Sql Query Report Region as defined below. On the report attributes I am not using any "Row Selector". In a After submit process I try to print out the results of the value I have entered in as a value in updatable report and i get the error: I am doing this as a test before i use the data to insert into another table...
I receive this error if I enter in a characters (not numeric) into the "Field Value" field.:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.
If I enter in a numeric into the "Field Value" text box, then I get the value displayed back without error. I need to be able to enter a varchar value without error.
My SQL QUERY is:
select i.INDEXED_FIELD_ID, i.field_name,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,d.indexed_field_value) field_value,
decode(f.required, 0, 'O', 1, 'R', 'NOT USED') REQUIRED
from XXVG_EFILE_DOCUMENT_FIELDS D,
xxvg_efile_type_fields f, xxvg_efile_indexed_fields i
WHERE f.indexed_field_id = i.indexed_field_id
and f.required in (0,1)
and i.indexed_field_id = d.indexed_field_id(+)
and d.document_id(+) = -1
and f.document_type_id = :p21_doc_type
My after submit process is the following...**Note** I am using P21_test as a field just to display my test. I receive the value back just fine without error if numeric. If varchar, that is when the problems occur. I have used just a length variable like the lettter 't' for testing and still receive the error.
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- update field values
FOR i IN 1 .. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03.COUNT -- your field value
LOOP
vRow := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03(i);
IF vRow is Not NULL --means the field has data in it.
THEN
:p21_test := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F03(i); --set a variable to the field with data.
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
Is there a conversion I need to do? I do not want to do this via checkboxes as I dont want the user have to check a checkbox and then enter a value in. I just want a blank text box the user can enter a value in and then i can do an insert.
Thanks So much.

Thanks Scott, That did do the trick as the varchar is now displayed of the entered item.
How do i also display the value of indexed_field_id as well.
I have an insert where i need the indexed field id and the entered field value.
Thanks in advance.

Problem With SQL Query (updateable report)

Hi,
I have a report which I have set as type 'SQL Query (updateable report)'. I have added a 'row selector' to the report but when I run it I get the following error message:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00904: "COL60": invalid identifier
The report works fine if I remove the row selector. Any ideas as to why the error is being produced?
Cheers
Simon

I don't have the apex_application.g_f01(i) referenced in the page source...In the page source you wouldn't find anything by that name
Identify the tabular form's checkbox column in the page(firebug/chrome developer panel makes this easy)
It should be like
<input id="..." value="" type="checkbox" name="fXX" >we are interested in the name attribute , get that number (between 01 and 50)
Replace that number in the code, for instance if it was f05 , the code would use
apex_application.g_f05
--i'th checked record' primary keyWhen you loop through a checkbox array, it only contains the rows which are checked and it is common practice to returns the record's primary key as the value of the checkbox(available as the the i'th array index as apex_application.g_f05(i) , where i is sequence position of the checked row) so that you can identify the record.

Frank,
I received your email with this same question so I'll just respond here. Our internet-facing hosted site apex.oracle.com allows you to request a workspace and, after the request is approved and the workspace provisioned, to develop applications there. If you already have an application that you need some help with, you can import/install it into your workspace on apex.oracle.com. This makes it easy to demonstrate problems to others who might be able to help.
Sometimes it will be necessary for you to create developer accounts in your workspace in order for others to use your Application Builder. You can post usernames/passwords here or you can convey those privately to those offering their services. In either case, you'd want to remove or disable those accounts as soon as the problem is resolved. For problems that I ask to see demonstrated on apex.oracle.com, it is not necessary for you to create an account for me. I can do that as our group runs the site. I just need to know your workspace name and application ID.

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values
Outline of requirement :-
Master / Detail page with Detail updated on same page using SQL Query (updateable report).
The detail region has the following source
SELECT item_id,
       contract_id,
       CASE WHEN hardware_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HA'
            WHEN backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'BD'
            WHEN hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL THEN
               'HS'
       END item_type,
       hardware_id,
       backup_dev_id,
       hardware_os_id
FROM   "#OWNER#".support_items
WHERE contract_id = :P26_CONTRACT_IDThe table support_items implements arced relationships and has the following columns
CREATE TABLE SUPPORT_ITEMS
ITEM_ID         NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
CONTRACT_ID     NUMBER                        NOT NULL,
HARDWARE_ID     NUMBER,
BACKUP_DEV_ID   NUMBER,
HARDWARE_OS_ID NUMBER
)A check type constaint on support_items ensures that only one of the fk's is present.
      (    hardware_id    IS NOT NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR    (    hardware_id    IS NULL
       AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
       AND hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL
      )    Hardware_Id is a FK to Hardware_Assets
Backup_dev_id is a FK to Backup_Devices
Hardware_os_id is a FK to Hardware_op_systems
The Tabular Form Element based on item_type column of SQL query is Displayed As Select List (based on LOV) referencing a named list of values which have the following properties
Display Value     Return Value
Hardware Asset    HA
Backup Device     BD
Computer System   HSThe Tabular Form Elements for the report attributes for hardware_id, backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id are all Displayed As Select List (Based on LOV).
What I want to do is only display the Select List for the FK depending on the value of the Select List on Item Type, e.g.
Item_Type is 'HA' then display Select List for hardware_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'BB' then display Select List for backup_dev_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for hardware_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'HS' then display Select List for hardware_os_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists backup_dev_id and hardware_id.
There are properties on elements to conditionally display it but how do we reference the values of the SQL query Updateable region? they are not given a page item name?
Also on the Tabular For Elements there is an Edit tick against a report item - however when you go to the Column Attributes there is not a property with which you can control the Edit setting.
What's the best way of implementing this requirement in APEX 3.1?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "user13515136".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (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. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields.Provide exact details of how this has been implemented. (An example on apex.oracle.com is always a good way to do this.)
I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done? Almost anything can be done, often in multiple ways. Which are appropriate may be dependent on a particular implementation, the skills available to implement it, and the effort you're willing to expend on it. Hence it's necessary to provide full details of what you've done so far...

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.

SQL Query (updateable report) - Can't figure out how to make one

Hi folks,
Can someone tell me how to make a report where the data can be updated? Not an interactive report, a SQL report that selects only one row. The only options in the drop down I see are "SQL Query" and "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)", but I have a report elsewhere that says it's type is "SQL Query (updateable report)", but I can't remember how to do it :(
Thanks very much,
-Adam

Hi Adam,
An Updatable Report is a "Tabular Form" - see: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10497/frm_tabular.htm#CHDFBHDB

SQL Query updateable report with row selector. Update process.

I have a SQL Query updateable report with the row selector(s).
How would I identify the row selector in an update process on the page.
I would like to update certain columns to a value of a select box on the page.
Using the basic:
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value
WHERE some_column=some_value
I would need to do:
UPDATE table_name
SET column1= :P1_select
WHERE [row selector] = ?
Now sure how to identify the [row selector] and/or validate it is checked.
Thanks,
Bob

Change "SQL Query" report to "SQL Query (updateable report)" report?

I manually made a report, because the tabular report made by the wizard gave me no possibility to use a popup LOV. Now I have this report, but I cant apply an MRU process on it, becuase it's not an "SQL Query (updateable report)". How can I change my report to a "SQL Query (updateable report)"? I only can choose between SQL Query and SQL QUERY (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query).

Hi Tom
You can just write the processes yourself. Although trickier this can give you a lot more control over row processing.
APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01, F02 etc are global variables in the apex_application package that are defined as arrays.
These are regularly used in tabular forms to reference values within them. The normal ordering would be column 1 = G_F01, column 2 = G_F02 etc etc. Although you can change these and even assign more than one column to an array.
The example
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(:P1_EMPID , APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
END LOOP;Is saying - for the number of values in the array G_F01 (probably column 1) loop insert into the table the value of the associated value in the array. So first time through i=1 - so the first value in the array (probably row 1 in column 1), next time i=2 so the second value in the array is used (probably row 2 in column 1) and so on...
When you've created a manual tabular form (what I would call what you've done) you have created the items using the APEX_ITEM package in your query. The first parameter for this is p_idx which defines which global array to hold it in.
Cheers
Ben

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.

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?

Update Field On Change For A SQL Query (updateable report)

Hi,
I'd like to request help from anyone with ideas on how to solve this.
We are using APEX 4.2, 10GR2, RedHat5.
I have a report that comes from SQL Query (updateable report).
I'm using the apex_item.text and apex_item.hidden on fields.
I'm using a button to submit and after submit process to add some logic that I need.
There could be 1 - 10 records in the report.
There is only 1 field that is needed to enter a value, but the value of this field determines the value of another field.
I think that I can do this with a submit button and an after submit process where I loop through all the records. I think I have this handled.
This is the question
When the value of that field is changed then the value of another field in the same row changes immediately.
Is this possible?
All the examples I've seen so far are for a single record and that doesn't work for us.
I guess this is a MRU process but I haven't seen an example where a dynamic action is possible on a Multi Row Update.
Could anyone direct me to where I can see an example or help me get directions?
I appreciate all your help an comments and I thank you in advance.

Yes why not...what you looking for is a ajax call
See {message:id=10390979}
Please note:-you can also do this as a dynamic action as shown below
Event: Change
Selection type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: input[name="f01"]
True action with Execute JavaScript Code and put all code inside the test funtion, you may need to amend the code to use this.triggeringElemnt in place of this

APEX 4.1, SQL Query(Updateable report), Validation issue.

Hi,
I am using APEX 4.1.
I have SQL Query(Updateable report), we have created validation for the columns in this report.
The validations are working properly only for the first row of the report on submitting, the remaining rows are not getting validated.
If we check mark the rows it will get validated, but we want the validation to happen without checkmarking, on all the rows on clicking submit button.
Can someone help me to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & regards,

Type: SQL Query (updateable report)

Hello,
Is it possible to default a field value in a SQL Query (updateable report) Report Region in a DML Form when the 'Add Row' button is clicked? I want to default some List of Value fields. This is not as simple as a HTML Region Item based on a table, there is a 'Default' tab where the field value goes. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
On the tabular form's Column Attributes tab, select the column. You should see a section headed "Tabular Form Element". In there, there are two settings you can use: Default Type and Default
