    After a brief search on Metalink (no reports installation here), this error could be caused by one of several conditions - depending on the version of reports.

    Apparently, under certain circumstances, it can be caused by a divide by zero, it could also be caused by a value that is too long for a column, and then I came across this note which may or may not be relevant (sorry about the formatting, its a paste)...,

    Subject: REP-01401 WHEN RUNNING A 2.5 REPORT WITH FORMULA COLUMN
    Type: PROBLEM
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
    Creation Date: 04-FEB-1998

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    ====================

    Running a V2.5 report with a formula column causes REP-01401.
    REP-01401 - '': Unhandled PL/SQL exception.

    For example, the formula column code is:

    Begin

    If :JOB = 'MANAGER'
    then :CP_1 := 'MANAGEMENT' (PLACEHOLDER COLUMN TO DISPLAY STRING)
    else :CP_1 := 'OTHER'
    END IF;
    END;


    Search words: REP-1401

    Solution: CHANGE THE TRIGGER FOR THE FORMULA COLUMN AS FOLLOWS


    SOLUTION DESCRIPTION:
    =====================

    This is a known issue (Bug 473584). Reports 2.5 uses PL/SQL Version 1 and
    Reports 3.0 uses PL/SQL Version 2. In PL/SQL Version 2, a value must be
    returned. You need to change the above mentioned example to:

    Begin
    If :JOB = 'MANAGER' then
    return ('MANAGEMENT'); (MANAGEMENT WILL BE RETURNED FOR CF_1)
    else
    return ('OTHER'); (OTHER WILL BE RETURNED FOR CF_1)
    end if;
    end;

    This will resolve the error and allow the report to be run.
