Wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_RETRIEVE_OPPTY_ORDER_STATU

Question

I have been strucK at a point in invoking the procedure which has a boolean parameter which when called from java program get error saying that "wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P_RETRIEVE_OPPTY_ORDER_STATUS'". the procedure is given below along with the calling java code , and the Errors.
If i change the parameter data type to VARCHAR2 (the parameter hilighted in red) in the in the procedure and invoke it with the same method it works fine, even if i change the "callableStatement.setBoolean(1, true); to callableStatement.setInt(1, 1); it works fine.When i call it with setting the boolean to the procedure from my java i get a error. Im really confused whether is this a issue with oracle? or with java code.
Please can any body suggest me any kind of solution! to over come this scenario.

Answer 1

Hi YoungWinston,
I realy appriciate your comments on the standard of the code , i also accept procedure and code may not be readable,
but the problem is not because of bloated call its just beacause of the Boolean parameter being passed throught the java code, and where as the SQL/PL does not allow BOOLEAN as paramater, please refer the below link for justification.
what am expecting is , is there any solution to this problem (not a work arround solution).
Please provide me with some sort of solution/hints or suggestions in achieving this solution,
I would realy your effort
Thanks

Predefined PL/SQL BOOLEAN Data Type
The BOOLEAN data type stores logical values, which you can use in logical operations. The logical values are the Boolean values TRUE and FALSE and the value NULL.
The syntax for specifying an BOOLEAN data item is:
BOOLEAN
SQL has no data type equivalent to BOOLEAN; therefore you cannot use BOOLEAN variables or parameters in the following:
SQL statements
Built-in SQL functions (such as TO_CHAR)
PL/SQL functions invoked from SQL statements
You cannot insert the value TRUE or FALSE into a database column. You cannot retrieve the value of a database column into a BOOLEAN variable.
To represent BOOLEAN values in output, use IF-THEN or CASE constructs to translate BOOLEAN values into another type (for example, 0 or 1, 'Y' or 'N', 'true' or 'false').
