Why don't you use the select string
declare
mm varchar2(200);
begin
select substr(text,1,200) into mm from om_sqltext_info where id=15972; end;

Mohamed,

This can happen if the longraw is null, the starting position is greater than the length of the long raw, or if the length for the substr is greater than the length of the long raw.

You need to write the error trapping routines into your procedure to account for these possibilities.

HTH,
