Getting a character to number conversion error when using APEX_DATA_PARSER.PARSE

James Black10 hours ago

In my apex application, the user selects a file in file_upload item.

I am on Oracle APEX 24.29 if that matters.

Then when they click Submit I call the process task and one step is to do the validation of what was uploaded, as it is an xls file.

This is my entire PL/SQL function.

I don't see where I would be doing a conversion to a number.

If I do:

SELECT line_number, …
INTO line_number, …

I get the same error, so I took it out.

The ultimate goal is to loop over all the rows, except for the first one, and validate certain cells in each row, but I want it to not be throwing an error just doing this part.

If someone can help me understand how I can loop over each row that would be great, but right now it is just doing the header, which is all strings.

DECLARE
  l_file_id NUMBER := :P2_FILE_UPLOAD; 
  col1 VARCHAR(200);
  col2 VARCHAR(200); 
  col3 VARCHAR(200);
  line_number INT;
 
  l_blob BLOB;
  
      TYPE t_file_rec IS RECORD (
        filename_part_2 VARCHAR2(1000),
        file_item_id VARCHAR2(1000)
    );
    TYPE t_file_tab IS TABLE OF t_file_rec;

    l_files t_file_tab := t_file_tab(
        t_file_rec('Pumping_Test.pdf', 'P2_FILE_UPLOAD')
    );

 
BEGIN

SELECT blob_content
INTO l_blob
        FROM   apex_application_temp_files
        WHERE  ROWNUM = 1;
SELECT col001,col002,col003
INTO col1, col2, col3
FROM TABLE(APEX_DATA_PARSER.PARSE
               (p_content => l_blob,
                p_file_name => 'test.xls'));

END;
