Error Message Help - ORA-12899

453921Feb 25 2009 — edited Mar 3 2009
Hello:

l created a page which is a form to update a table. The UPDATE process was created as Automatic Row Processing. When I submit the form, the table was updated with no error message.

There is a field in the table which needed special handling in order to be updated. So, I had to change my Automatic Row Processing process to a PL/SQL block process. When I submit this form, I receive the following error message:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "MDD"."ORGANIZATION"."CONTACT_SALUTATION" (actual: 6, maximum: 5).

I do not understand how changing the processing from Automatic to a PL/SQL block would generate this message. My PL/SQL block statement doesn't show any column widths. Everything else on the page remained untouched.

Can someone help me? Do I have to declare variables with their column widths and then set the declared values to equal to my page item?

For example:
DECLARE
vSALUTION varchar(2) 5;
BEGIN
update
 test.organizaton
    set
      vSALUTATION=:P14_SALUTATION
where
      ORG_KEY=:P14_ORG_KEY
;
END;
{code}
Thank you for the help.

This is my current PL/SQL block statement:
