ORA-06502 character string buffer too small

I upgraded to 8.1.7 but now my old procedures and web interface's from version 7 won't work anymore.
Using PL/SQL Web Toolkit:.

That's the error message:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at "DB.INPUT_FORM", line 316
ORA-06512: at "DB.INPUT_CHCK", line 588

Changed the value of the HTBUF_LEN variable. Nothing works. The package is owned by SYS and it works with other procedures owned by the resp. user. Don't get the message if the text string I move is smaller. But as I said it worked before with version 7.

It must be some settings which is wrong. At least that's my guess.

Can anybody help. I searched the net for two days now to find a solution

Thanks in advance

Gerd
