Hi,
We have recently migrated from 9i to 10g(10.2.0.4 to be more precise)
the below issue being faced by us after the migration
We have an sp that is returning a large value (truncated to 40 digits by oracle as its number)
this out parameter value is then being assigned to a variable of size 23 and we are getting ORA-06502
numer value too large
we have done a fix for this by rounding it off to 23 before assigning it to the variable The same sp is working fine in case of 9i database and its returning a 12 digit number instead of a 40 digit
please find the psuedo code for the same
sp
(
a t1.age%type
b t1.name%type
c number
d number
)
{
c=1/3;
}

At the calling side
v varchar(23);
sp
(
a t1.age%type
b t1.name%type
c number
d number
)
select to_char(abs(c)) into :v from dual;

here c=0.3333333333333333333333333333333333 that is rounded to 40 digits.
Is there some kind of parameter setting that the error is handled in 9i but not in 10g

There is no parameter setting (but maybe indirectly cursor_sharing one).
This is why you have to properly define your column datatype, variable datatype and correctly write SQL accordingly, all are part of the same code.

Things changes with versions.
If your application are not clear and precisely defined the types then you rely on default/implicit behaviour which changes when Oracle wants (or as a side effect of code evolution or compilator).

There is 1 possible "solution" applied in V10:
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.7
but this essentially negates doing the upgrade.
The procedure needs to be changed to eliminate the error.
so Just Do It!

9i had the value rounded to 12 but 10g its still 40
so that was why I was asking about some parameter configuration
Thanks a lot to all of you for your reply
