Should be okay if you you use it only for plsql variables, which Oracle version do you have?

Maximum size of a varchar2 plsql variable is 32000 Maximum size of a varchar2 column in a table is 4000 bytes

see more about variable sizes in

Hi Friends :

I have a variable defined as below :

v_smessage varchar2(32000):= null;

When i am using it with size greater than 4000 bytes i am getting error below :

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error ORA-06512: at line 1
