Oracle does not support you changing their messages in the database; however, your application can trap errors and display a more customer friendly message. But 'call programming support' is generally not a good idea for a large percentage of the errors and you always want the real Oracle error number to be available to support. Otherwise you first have to duplicate the problem, then find where in the code the problem is, then get the real Oracle error, and now you can start on the problem.
