May I first ask what you are trying to accomplish?
(post a working testcase?)

Your statement "works" but has an unexpected result for len=2:
WITH data(fullname) AS
 (SELECT 'AAAAAA'  FROM dual UNION ALL
  SELECT 'A||'     FROM dual UNION ALL
  SELECT 'A||||'   FROM dual UNION ALL
  SELECT 'A||||||' FROM dual UNION ALL
  SELECT ''        FROM dual UNION ALL
  SELECT NULL      FROM dual)
SELECT fullname, Replace (fullname, '||', ':')rep, Length (fullname) - Length (Replace (fullname, '||', ':'))len, CASE 
         WHEN ( Length (fullname) - Length (Replace (fullname, '||', ':')) ) > 
              2 THEN 
         'morethen 3 is not possible' 
         WHEN ( Length (fullname) - Length (Replace (fullname, '||', ':')) ) < 
              2 THEN 
         'Full name' 
         ELSE 'Nothing' 
       END name 
  FROM data;

FULLNAME   REP LEN      NAME
---------------------------------------------
AAAAAA	AAAAAA	0	Full name
A||	A:	1	Full name
A||||	A::	2	Nothing
A||||||	A:::	3	morethen 3 is not possible
			Nothing
			Nothing

hmmmm
let me rephrase that question Idea
What does the input look like (test case)?
What does the desired output look like?
What doe your query ouput look like. (in other words...where is something going wrong)

(
btw...your opening post didn't state a question Smile
And your second didn't also not contain a question Smile
So now I don't know what to answer Smile
)

Question
Ununderstandable.
What does mean "If fullname is >2"? Is 'Michel' > 2 (I hope so)?

Once more, where is the test case?
