Simply as Catherine alraedy said formatting gives extra space. It takes one
more byte in variable Emp_Bar_Code VARCHAR2(15) and this variable is too
short
Just look at example
SQL> select length(
2 TO_CHAR( 12345, '0999999' ) ||
3 TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' )
4 )
5 from dual;
LENGTH(TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDD'))

Hi Aleem,
I think it's because of the space in front. Try SELECT
';'||TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||';' from dual and you will notice that there
is a space in front.
1* SELECT ';'||TO_CHAR(12345,'0999999')||';' from dual
SQL> /
';'||TO_CH
----------
; 0012345;
The problem does not lies in TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' ). Hope it
helps.
Regds,
Catherine

Hi,
In a database procedure that accepts employee_ID as numeric parameter I
have
the following code that doesn't work together, it however works separatly,
I
wonder why?
PROCEDURE abc ( emp_ID IN NUMBER := 12345 )
AS
Emp_Char_ID VARCHAR2(7);
Bar_Char_Date VARCHAR2(8);
Emp_Bar_Code VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN
Emp_Char_ID := TO_CHAR( emp_id, '0999999' )
Bar_Char_Date := TO_CHAR( SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD' );
Emp_bar_code := Emp_Char_ID || Bar_Char_Date;
/* The concatenation line compiles fine, but at execution time gives
error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error */
UPDATE Employee SET Bar_Code = Emp_Bar_Code WHERE Employee_ID = emp_id;
END;
The same procedure works fine after the following modifications
Removed format mask on emp_id (First line of the BEGIN section)
Modified the update statement and used LPAD( Emp_Bar_Code, 15, '0')
The question is why the formatted number conversion gives error in
concatenation with date converted to character.
TIA!
Aleem

I suspect that you need a new version of Veritas Volume manager, I would
check around the Veritas website for info. or there is a driver you need to
load in the boot of the installation process.
If you are still mystified try asking your question over on the sunmangers
list. www.sunmanagers.org
you almost certainly will find an answer there
Cheers

Subject: OT : Upgrade Unix OS with Veritas Volumn Manager
Hi Unix Gurus,
My UNIX administrator has to upgrade the OS from 5.6 to 5.8. We are using
Veritas Volumn Manager. The upgrade fails because we are not familiar with
Veritas Volumn Manager. Has anyone upgraded SUN-Solaris Unix OS from 5.6 to
5.8 with Veritas Volumn Manager ? Please help. Thanks.
Regds,
