Description of Problem

When the program is executed *without* the Reference Line 1 (Initialize), it generates an error 'ORA1488: NIBBLEBYTE PROBLEM' on Reference Line 2. When it is executed *with* the Reference Line 1, it generates an error 'ORA1457: CONVERSION COLUMN OVERFLOWS DECIMAL DATATYPE'. There seems to be no way to successfully execute this program.

The program uses the standard Oracle demo PRICE table. It runs on Oracle 6 under Unix. This is actually a test program. We encountered the problem in a large critical production program.

Could anyone help please !
