Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Concatenating formated number and date doesn't work
Simply as Catherine alraedy said formatting gives extra space. It takes one more byte in variable Emp_Bar_Code VARCHAR2(15) and this variable is too short
Just look at example
SQL> select length(
2 TO_CHAR( 12345, '0999999' ) ||
3 TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' )
4 )
5 from dual;
LENGTH(TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDD'))
16

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Thank you Catherine,
It does work on SQL>_, but in procedure it gives this error.
Any other suggestion?
TIA! Aleem

Hi Aleem,
I think it's because of the space in front. Try SELECT
';'||TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||';' from dual and you will notice that there
is a space in front.
1* SELECT ';'||TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||';' from dual
SQL> /
';'||TO_CH
The problem does not lies in TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' ). Hope it helps.
Regds,
Catherine

Hi,
In a database procedure that accepts employee_ID as numeric parameter I
have
the following code that doesn't work together, it however works separatly,
I
wonder why?
PROCEDURE abc ( emp_ID IN NUMBER := 12345 )
AS
Emp_Char_ID VARCHAR2(7);
Bar_Char_Date VARCHAR2(8);
Emp_Bar_Code VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN Emp_Char_ID := TO_CHAR( emp_id, '0999999' )
Bar_Char_Date := TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' );
Emp_bar_code := Emp_Char_ID || Bar_Char_Date;
/* The concatenation line compiles fine, but at execution time gives error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error */
UPDATE Employee SET Bar_Code = Emp_Bar_Code WHERE Employee_ID = emp_id;
END; The same procedure works fine after the following modifications
Removed format mask on emp_id (First line of the BEGIN section)
Modified the update statement and used LPAD( Emp_Bar_Code, 15, '0')
The question is why the formatted number conversion gives error in concatenation with date converted to character.
TIA! Aleem

I suspect that you need a new version of Veritas Volume manager, I would check around the Veritas website for info. or there is a driver you need to load in the boot of the installation process. If you are still mystified try asking your question over on the sunmangers list. www.sunmanagers.org
you almost certainly will find an answer there
Cheers
