Trace API Error

Question

Hi,
I am create record in Item Categories using API, following is the code;
/* Formatted on 1/17/2012 12:16:27 PM (QP5 v5.115.810.9015) */
DECLARE
l_category_rec inv_item_category_pub.category_rec_type;
l_return_status VARCHAR2 (80);
l_error_code NUMBER;
l_msg_count NUMBER;
l_msg_data VARCHAR2 (80);
l_out_category_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_category_rec := NULL;
SELECT f.id_flex_num
INTO l_category_rec.structure_id
FROM fnd_id_flex_structures f
WHERE f.id_flex_structure_code = 'ITEM_CATEGORIES';
l_category_rec.structure_code := 'ITEM_CATEGORIES';structure_id := 101;
l_category_rec.summary_flag := 'N';
l_category_rec.enabled_flag := 'Y';
l_category_rec.segment1 := '100';
l_category_rec.segment2 := 'Kemulex';
l_category_rec.segment3 := '22X550';
l_category_rec.segment4 := '0';
l_category_rec.segment5 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment6 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment7 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment8 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment9 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment10 := 'MIS';
l_category_rec.segment11 := 'MIS';
inv_item_category_pub.create_category (p_api_version => 1.0,
p_init_msg_list => fnd_api.g_false,
p_commit => fnd_api.g_true,
x_return_status => l_return_status,
x_errorcode => l_error_code,
x_msg_count => l_msg_count,
x_msg_data => l_msg_data,
p_category_rec => l_category_rec,
x_category_id => l_out_category_id);
IF l_return_status = fnd_api.g_ret_sts_success
THEN
COMMIT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Creation of Item Category is Successful : ' || l_out_category_id);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Creation of Item Category Failed with the error :' || l_error_code);
ROLLBACK;
END IF;
END;
but this code does not show the exact error; just this text appear in error "Creation of Item Category Failed with the error :" but l_error_code variable does not fetching the value...
Please guide me how to resolve.
