Title: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found

The following was issued from SQL*Plus (8.1.7) on HP-UX 11.0:

SQL> declare
  2  stat boolean := false;
  3  begin
  4  DBMS_JOB.BROKEN(1,stat,'TRUNC(SYSDATE)+22/24');
  5  end;
  6  /
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
ORA-06512: at line 4

I can replace "stat" with FALSE in the parameter list with the same results.
What am I doing wrong?
