Hi,

I have added some piece of code in the existing form.i am getting ORA-06502 error While i execute the form . I know this is because of data type mismatch or numeric value error. So I have checked all the places where ever is possible. I ensured there is no data type mismatch or numeric issue. But i am wondered when i give this statement " message('test');pause; " (for debugging purpose), the above error is not getting displayed . It is working fine. Can anyone help me what would be the root cause for this issue?

Did you also check that items and variables' size is correct?

Hi,

yes I have checked items and variable.In case if there is any numeric value error , this error should be displayed consistently.But in our case it is not displaying the error message consistently. it is suppressed by giving "MESSAGE" statement. is any other reason to cause such kind of issue?

you need to isolate the piece of code causing the error then fix it.

This will take some time, but one approach is to comment out code until the error goes away, then uncomment back on code until the error comes back. Repeat as needed, eliminating code parts till you find the line that is causing the error.

There is no substitute for basic debugging. It takes time, but is most of what program development is about.

Good luck, Kevin

Have you tried running the Form in debug mode from the Forms Builder?
