I am writing a cursor in forms.
I test it and it appears to be working but after a while, I receive an oracle exception:
ora-06502 - value error.
how can I resolve, please?
 
Although we need more information, like what is the content of your cursor/procedure, I would hazard a guess that a VARCHAR2 variable is not large enough.

Are there any points in your code where you are doing a loop (cursor or otherwise) and you are concatenating the contents of a string to itself? Or do you have a variable defined which is of insufficient size for some of the data in your cursor loop?
 
Hi lewisp!
Yea, the first thing I did was check the size of the data versus the size of the variable I declare. that is not problem.
I am also nt concatenating any string.
What I think might be the problem is that I am not looping the cursor.
Any time I try t loop, it will hang.
I don't know.
I may have to rewrite the cursor.
