Oracle error Ora-01722

[saritha]

I was trying to run a report in developer which has dynamic where clause that it creates. I am getting this error "ORA-01722 " when I am tying to run the report.

Please let me know ASAP.

thanks

Hi

may be using the Charecter where a numeric is required.
Hope this may be helpful.



ORA-01722 invalid number

Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.

Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
