RE: range function ??? URGENT

Leslie,

More than likely you have a character value in franchise_name, quite possible since it is defined as a varchar2(32). When you try to do the to_number in the function, it throws the error:

SQL> select check_range('ABC') from dual; select check_range('ABC') from dual

       *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20599: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.CHECK_RANGE", line 84 ORA-06512: at line 1

Also note the 6502 is saying character to number conversion error. And the "ifranchise_name := to_number(franchise_name);" line is the only place I see doing an explicit or implicit conversion.

Change your raise_application_error to this to see the value giving you problems:

  raise_application_error(-20599,substr(StoO_errmsg,1,100)||' Value: '||franchise_name );
