White spaces in bind variables

Question

While calling a Report(based on sql with a bind variable) from a Form and passing a value with white space to the bind variable gives the following error:-
Error: An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)
Also, attempting to translate white spaces is not helpful for bind variable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gopi.

Thanks for you replay Reddi,
  Let me explain the scenario: The scenario is RFC --> XI  --> JDBC, one of the element of the FM sometimes could be have the value "      ", when this occurrs in the SXMB_MONI TC I see the value null in the element, that is the tag is <Element />, in this case I need to preserve this white space in the element. The message could be something like this:
<root>
  <element1>value 1</element1>
  <element2>value 2</element2>
  <element3>      </element3>
</root> 
but I see the message in this form:
<root>
  <element1>value 1</element1>
  <element2>value 2</element2>
  <element3 />
</root>
In the message mapping tool I assign the string value "      " and the problem still the same.
  Any Idea?
