I am getting ORA-06502 PL/SQL numeric or value error from the below select statement in reports builder 6i

select to_char(to_date(lateby, 'sssss'), 'mi:ss')
from attendancelogs
where emp_no = :emp_no
and attendancedate = :dat;

late number(15);

The same statement when run under SQL*Plus is running fine without any error and fetching values the way I want.

The field lateby in the attendancelogs table is defined as number(10). It is an integer value having 3 digits from 0-999 and i am coverting this integer to give me hours:minutes:seconds.

I am using Reports builder 6i and Oracle 11g database.

Any help will be much much appreciated x 1000 times.

"Hour" is missing in your format.
Anyway, if your value is really less than 1000 it should work (as 1000 is less than 1 hour) and it can't return this error.

Maybe, and most surely, imo, the problem does not come from this part but from the "where" clause.

Most likely, variables are not defined in the same way or environment variables are not the same ones.
