"Character String Buffer too small" Classic Report Apex 3.2.1

TauceefMar 12 2015 — edited Apr 22 2015

Hello Everyone,

I know it is very old version I am discussing here but that is what we have in our environment, would really appreciate if anyone can help out.

I have a classic report with the below query, in this I have added a filter using a select list item (P70_GROUP).

SELECT vws.ServerID AS Display_ID,       vws.ServerID AS ID,       vws.Hostname,       vws.ServerStatus,       vws.SiteName AS Site,       vws.Client,       vws.CoreHours,       vws.Patch_Notes,       vws.PATCH_DEP,       vws.Patch_Day,       vws.PATCH_GROUPID,       vws.PATCH_TIMEID AS Time     FROM VW_Live_Support vws LEFT JOIN W_Patch_Groups wpg     ON (vws.Patch_GroupID = wpg.ID) WHERE vws.Deleteable      = 'N'   AND NVL(wpg.Ignore, 'N') = 'N'   AND ((:P70_GROUP > 1 AND vws.PATCH_GROUPID = :P70_GROUP) OR         (:P70_GROUP = 1 AND vws.Patch_GroupID IS NULL)      OR         (NVL(:P70_GROUP,0) = 0))   AND ( INSTR(UPPER(vws.HostName),    UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.HostName)))    > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.ServerStatus), UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.ServerStatus))) > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.SiteName),    UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.SiteName)))    > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.Client),      UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.Client)))      > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.CoreHours),    UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.CoreHours)))    > 0 OR INSTR(UPPER(vws.Patch_Notes),  UPPER(NVL(:P70_SEARCH,vws.Patch_Notes)))  > 0       )

Issue is when i select a group from the list I am getting

"report error:

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".

one unusual thing I have noticed here is when I select "All Groups" which returns 0, it is running fine and returning 3700 rows but when I select any group which returns some 10-20 rows I am getting the above error.

can't understand why this is, please help me out.

Regards,

Tauceef
