Hi can any one suggest me where i need to modify.
The same procedure works fine with one record but not the second
through some java programme the field value set to null so how can i initialize that to execute successfully

SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

  1    DECLARE
  2     my_text_handle CLOB;
  3    my_buffer clob;
  4     my_add_amt NUMBER := 32000;
  5     my_offset INTEGER := 1;
  6   buf varchar2(32000);
  7     BEGIN
  8   select text into my_buffer  from SRIRAM_CLOB;
  9   buf := dbms_lob.substr(my_buffer);
 10        my_add_amt := length(buf);
 11     SELECT long_text
 12     INTO my_text_handle
 13     FROM text
 14     where  TEXT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER=246 and  text_id= 88 FOR UPDATE;
 15     DBMS_LOB.WRITE(my_text_handle, my_add_amt, my_offset, buf);
 16     COMMIT;
 17*    END;

ORA-22275: invalid LOB locator specified
 *Cause:  There are several causes:  (1) the LOB locator was never
          initialized; (2) the locator is for a BFILE and the routine
          expects a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB locator; (3) the locator is for a
          BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects a BFILE locator;
          (4) trying to update the LOB in a trigger body -- LOBs in
          trigger bodies are read only; (5) the locator is for a
          BFILE/BLOB and the routine expects a CLOB/NCLOB locator;
          (6) the locator is for a CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects
          a BFILE/BLOB locator;
 *Action: For (1), initialize the LOB locator by selecting into the locator
          variable or by setting the LOB locator to empty.  For (2),(3),
          (5) and (6)pass the correct type of locator into the routine.
          For (4), remove the trigger body code that updates the LOB value.

If your clob does not exist (field is null) then you have to create an empty clob to get a valid locator.
If it exist yet you can reuse the same locator.
