Hi all,
  I wrote a script bellow. If it is run on Oracle 8 it runs fine and
gives me all the result but on Oracle 9i it returns the error ORA-06502.
Can anybody tell me please why?
I have found a workaround - instead of
    select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
use
    select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col||null colu from tbl;
But it doesn't tell me, why the first statement doesn't work on 9i.

Thak you for your responses.

Mike


<<<script>>>
set serveroutput on
create table tbl (col varchar2(1));
insert into tbl values ('a');
insert into tbl values ('b');
select * from tbl;
select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
declare
  cursor cA is
    select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
begin
  for vA in cA loop
    dbms_output.put_line(vA.colu);
  end loop;
end;
/
drop table tbl;
<<</script>>>

The error message:
SQLWKS> declare
     2>   cursor cA is
     3>     select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from
tbl;
     4> begin
     5>   for vA in cA loop
     6>     dbms_output.put_line(vA.colu);
     7>   end loop;
     8> end;
     9> /
