RE: [sqr-users] String2Em: String to Decimal Object Conversion Error.

[Jim McKeever <jim_mckeever2002@yahoo.com>]

The following was offered as a solution several months ago and it worked for 
us.  Of course, this applied to Oracle 9.2 so it may or may not take care of 
10g...
   
  Have a DBA issue the following command:
  alter system set event='10499 trace name context forever,level 1' 
  COMMENT='return 0 for the scale if NUMBER created without specifying the 
scale'
  SCOPE=SPFILE

Ray,

If you refer to the column in your select as &employee_id, what happens?

If I don't select an unscaled number column, the statement works fine.
Our best option might be to redefine all of our unscaled numbers in our
database.

What happens if you leave the &empId out?

This is an old issue revisited...

We're in the process of migrating our databases from Oracle 8 to 10G.
However, we're getting an error message in SQR when selecting a number
column that isn't scaled (defined as number, as opposed to number(10),
for example). We're using SQR version 6.0 on SunOS, release 5.8.


begin-program
begin-select
employee_id &empId

from emp
end-select
end-program

Error on line 3:
(SQR 6806) String2Em: String to Decimal Object Conversion Error.

SQR: Program Aborting.

However, if I add number such as 0 to the selected column, it works
fine, but it's not the ideal solution; we would have to change thousands
of sqr program to fix this issue.

begin-program
begin-select
0+employee_id &empId

from emp
end-select
end-program

I found this old sqr user group solution for Oracle 9i from 2003. Does
anyone know if this works for Oracle 10G? If not, does anyone know any
other fixes?

alter system set event='10499 trace name context forever,level 1' 
COMMENT='return 0 for the scale if NUMBER created without specifying the
