Oracle Database Errors or Warnings from Error ORA-08451 to ORA-08460

 

ORA-08451: invalid specification of DB in picture mask
Cause: The DB suffix was incorrectly specified in the picture mask parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. The DB suffix can only appear at the end of a picture mask.
Action: Correct the picture mask parameter.
ORA-08452: specification of E in picture mask is unsupported
Cause: The floating point exponent symbol ‘E’ was specified in the picture mask parameter passed to a UTL_PG conversion routine. The floating point data type is currently not supported by the UTL_PG conversion routines.
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.
