This works perfectly! After the original post, I reviewed the dbms_rowid documentation and came across the rowid_row_number procedure. Would the dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number procedure return the row number in relation to the block? I suspect that is the case but not 100% sure. Cheers!

I don't know when this set of procedures was introduced, but they can be used to take a raw input (e.g. your c403135456) and decode it into a variable of the correct type.
