Hi ALL,

Recently i am facing issue "Program Unit being called" when calling another package/procedure with in our package.

Whenever we change anything in the child or parent package and execute the parent package it shows the error "Could not find program unit called" when calling the child package.

Thanks,
Venkatesh

Can you debug code that you cannot see?

Neither can anyone else.

And what's changed?

Edit: Have you recompiled the package?

Then you or somebody else broke working code.
Revert back to working version.
Words above contain NO actionable details.

You claim a problem exists, but refuse to SHOW us using COPY & PASTE exactly what you do & how Oracle responds.

Please refer attached files that we are calling.
First we call this package XXBSI_ORDER and then internally child package "XXBSI_ISG_ORDER_IMPORT_API" will call in main the package.

Usually the error message "Could not find program unit called" is accompanied by an error stack of ORA-XXXXX errors. Can you let us know what they are?

You have to handle the exception correctly rather than use a WHEN OTHERS clause. As others have said, read up about WHEN OTHERS on this site.

You have NEVER actually posted the name of the "missing" program unit.

Why do you REFUSE to post COPY & PASTE excerpt that shows us the actual code line being executed that throws ORA-06058 error?

This makes no sense. Removing exception handling makes it work? I don't believe you. An exception will be triggered only if there is an exception, so how does removing it make it work?

I suspect he removed the error handlers inside the package but not inside the caller and the "Could not find program unit called" comes from the removed error handlers.

Before, caller -> procedure -> exception -> procedure error handler -> "Could not find program unit called"
After, caller -> procedure -> exception -> caller error handler does nothing so "it works".

How do you know that it "worked"? Not throwing an error is not necessarily the same as working.

I have kept debug messages in both parent & child packages and then commented the exception in parent package; ran main package and observed in debug messages that child package is reading. so that why i have told it is working and program is running without any issues.

If i again keep exception in the main package, it is not even calling the child package and throwing exception "ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called". this is a strange behavior.

Thanks,
Venkatesh

You have a mystery & give us no clues.
We can't debug code we can NOT see.

Run the following command and show us what the result is. You MUST run this command as the same user that you are running the test in and getting the error

select owner,object_name, object_type, status
     from ALL_objects
     where object_name='XXBSI_ISG_ORDER_IMPORT_API';
