How's this for weird ...
SQL> select fw_phrase_common_p.normalise_phrase('�ber') from dual; select fw_phrase_common_p.normalise_phrase('�ber') from dual

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too
small
ORA-06512: at "MSMARINE.FW_PHRASE_COMMON_P", line 1015
SQL> alter package fw_phrase_common_p compile body;
Package body altered.
SQL> select fw_phrase_common_p.normalise_phrase('�ber') from dual;
FW_PHRASE_COMMON_P.NORMALISE_PHRASE('�BER')
�BER We have NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS set to CHAR at the DB level.
It seems that it is somehow losing the nls_char_semantics setting of the package. The statement it was failing on is :
:
FUNCTION normalise_phrase(i_text IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
--
l_ret VARCHAR2(2000) := NULL; l_wds PLS_INTEGER := 0; l_iswhite BOOLEAN := TRUE; l_ch CHAR(1);
--
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. LENGTH(i_text) LOOP l_ch := UPPER(SUBSTR(i_text, i, 1)); -- <-- Line 1015
Any ideas ???
