HI ALL

While Debugging the procedure i am getting

"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512:"

The above error is occurring in the Exception part while concatenating the errors into the variable i am getting the buffer too small error.

After assigning a proper datatype with huge size i am getting the above error.

I am using VARCHAR2 as a datatype for that variable.

Can anybody having a solution for my problem.

Based on the discussion below, it looks like the variable datatype is not enough to hold the data being passed to it.
Within PL/SQL a varchar2 can be as long as 32767;

You need to increase the data allocating more space. Discussions below has few answers suggesting ways to do it, see if they help:
ORA-06502 character string buffer too small...1[^]
ORA-06502 character string buffer too small...2[^]

my stored procedure had "keys" as an output parameter in definition.

command.Parameters.Add("keys", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 32767).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

fixed it for me.. passing the size of output varchar variable along the type.

hope this helps someone looking for the solution of this error. - SJ
