It is neither dbms_output nor sysdate. Try a loopback. This error is related to the network and I am sure that there is a lot on MetaLink.

Has anyone seen this cause an error before. I can run this script on other datbases (same version) without any problems. This database was rebuilt from production. I can select the to_char... into a varchar2 variable and then print the variable and it works.
I've bounced the database also, but still no help. Nothing shows up in the alert log and there are no trace files.

I have the work around, but I want to find out why/how to fix it and the root cause.
Can I set an event and get more information about it when the error happens? That's the direction I'm headed.

Thanks,
Steve
