Action: Correct the picture mask parameter, and the data, if necessary.


ORA-08453 more than one V symbol specified in picture mask

Cause: The picture mask passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained more than one decimal point indicator ('V'). Only one decimal point indicator is allowed in the picture mask.

Action: Correct the picture mask parameter.


ORA-08454 more than one S symbol specified in picture mask

Cause: The picture mask passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained more than one operational sign indicator ('S'). Only one operational sign indicator is allowed in the picture mask.

Action: Correct the picture mask parameter.


ORA-08455 syntax error in CURRENCY SIGN environment clause

Cause: A syntax error was found in the CURRENCY SIGN environment clause parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. Valid specifications are: CURRENCY SIGN IS x where x is a valid currency sign.

Action: Correct the environment clause parameter.


ORA-08456 no sign in picture mask but SIGN clause in mask options

Cause: The picture mask parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained no sign symbol ('S', '+', or '-'), but the mask options parameter contained a SIGN clause. A sign symbol is required in the picture mask parameter when the mask options parameter contains a SIGN clause.

Action: Correct the picture mask parameter or the mask options parameter.


ORA-08457 syntax error in SEPARATE CHARACTER option of SIGN clause

Cause: A syntax error was found in the SEPARATE CHARACTER option of the SIGN clause in the mask options parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. Valid specifications are: SEPARATE, SEPARATE CHARACTER.

Action: Correct the mask options parameter.


ORA-08458 invalid format parameter

Cause: The format parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine was invalid. The format parameter should have been built by a prior call to either MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT.

Action: Check to be sure that the format parameter was built by MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT, and that it was not accidentally overwritten or modified by the PL/SQL procedure.


ORA-08459 invalid format parameter length

Cause: The format parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine was not the correct length. Format parameters must be 2048 bytes in length.

Action: Check to be sure that the format parameter was built by MAKE_RAW_TO_NUMBER_FORMAT or MAKE_NUMBER_TO_RAW_FORMAT, and that it was not accidentally overwritten or modified by the PL/SQL procedure.


ORA-08460 invalid environment clause in environment parameter

Cause: The environment parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine contained an unsupported or invalid environment clause. Only the CURRENCY SIGN and the DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA environment clauses are supported.

Action: Correct the environment parameter.


ORA-08462 raw buffer contains invalid decimal data

Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine contains invalid decimal data.

Action: Correct the input data.


ORA-08463 overflow converting decimal number to Oracle number

Cause: The output variable passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER was not large enough to hold the Oracle number resulting from the input decimal number.

Action: Be sure that the input decimal number is valid, and be sure that the output variable is large enough to hold the Oracle number value.


ORA-08464 input raw decimal data contains more than 42 digits

Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine contained more than 42 digits. This exceeds the maximum size of an Oracle number.

Action: Correct the raw input buffer.


ORA-08465 input mask contains more than 32 characters

Cause: The input mask passed to UTL_PG numeric conversion routine contained more the 32 characters.

Action: Correct the mask input buffer.


ORA-08466 raw buffer length string is too short for string

Cause: The input raw buffer passed to a UTL_PG RAW_TO_NUMBER conversion routine was less than string bytes long, but the picture mask parameter specified that string bytes of input data were to be converted.

Action: Either the input data is incorrect, or the picture mask is incorrect. Correct the appropriate item.


ORA-08467 error converting Oracle number to string

Cause: An error occurred when converting an Oracle number to a COBOL type of: DISPLAY COMP-3 or character variable. The Oracle number was not in the correct format.

Action: Correct the call to the conversion routine. The input must be a valid Oracle number variable.


ORA-08468 mask option string is not supported

Cause: The mask option clause was passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine, but is not supported by UTL_PG. The clause can be:

  • USAGE IS POINTER
  • USAGE IS INDEX
  • USAGE IS COMP-1
  • USAGE IS COMP-2 POINTER

Action: Remove the clause from the mask options parameter in the PL/SQL call to UTL_PG.


ORA-08498 Warning: picture mask 'string' overrides picture mask option 'USAGE IS string' to 'USAGE IS DISPLAY'

Cause: Picture mask USAGE option was overridden by the picture mask.

Action: This is an informational message only. The message may be eliminated by changing the USAGE option to match the picture mask.


ORA-08499 Warning: picture mask options 'string' ignored by UTL_PG

Cause: Picture mask options such as OCCUR, SYNC and others are not processed by the UTL_PG numeric conversion routines.

Action: This is an informational message only. The message may be eliminated by removing the unnecessary picture mask options from the parameter list passed to the UTL_PG routine.
