Cause: An attempt was made to perform an inappropriate operation to a deleted or non-existent object that is referenced by a dangling reference. Operations that cannot be applied to a non-existent or deleted object include deleting, updating and allocating memory.
Action: Re-initialize the reference in order to reference an existent object before performing the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform an inappropriate operation to an object that is marked purged. The actual object could have been modified in the database. Operations that cannot be applied to a purged object includes updating, deleting and flushing.
Action: Pin the object again to get the new data.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform an inappropriate operation to a transient object that is not instantiated in the object cache. Operations that cannot be applied to a not-instantiated transient object include deleting or pinning such an object.
Action: Check the code to see if operations are being performed without instantiating the object first, or operations are being performed after the allocation duration of the object has expired.
Cause: The object could not be flushed because it has not been modified.
Action: The object should not be flushed.
Cause: See the error message.
Action: The transaction should be aborted or committed before terminating the cache or connection.
Cause: An attempt was made to supply a service context that is not valid.
Action: Establish the service context and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to supply a duration number that is not valid.
Action: Establish the duration or use a correct predefined duration.
Cause: An attempt was made to supply a pin duration that is longer than the allocation duration. This affects operations such as pinning and setting default parameters.
Action: Use a shorter pin duration or use the null duration.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform an inappropriate operation on a transient object. Operations that cannot be applied to a transient object include flushing and locking.
Action: Avoid performing operations such as flushing and locking on a transient object.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform an inappropriate operation on a not-current object. Operations that cannot be applied to a not-current object include locking, updating, deleting and flushing.
Action: Avoid performing locking, updating, deleting or flushing operations on a not-current object.
Cause: An attempt was made to supply an invalid object. A bad pointer might have been passed to the object or else a value might have been passed to a function that is expecting an object.
Action: Ensure that a valid pointer or a valid value is passed to the function.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a duration that has been terminated.
Action: Do not use terminated durations in operations.
Cause: An attempt was made to pass a variable-length string which is outside the valid range.
Action: Specify a string size which is within the valid range and retry the operation.
Cause: The number is too large to be represented by Oracle number.
Action: The operation is beyond the range of Oracle number.
Cause: Number is too small to be represented by Oracle number.
Action: The operation is beyond the range of Oracle number.
Cause: The signed flag that was used is not ORLTSB or ORLTUB as defined in ORL.H.
Action: Use either ORLTSB or ORLTUB as the sign flag.
Cause: A divide by zero operation has occurred.
Action: Modify the invalid operation and reissue the command.
Cause: An attempt was made to convert an integer of invalid length (that is, number of bytes) to or from an Oracle number.
Action: Use an integer length of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes only.
Cause: The buffer to hold the text string which wa to be converted from an Oracle number is too small.
Action: Use a buffer size at least that suggested in the error message and retry the operation.
Cause: An invalid or uninitialized number was passed to a function.
Action: Call kolnini() to initialize a number before using it.
Cause: An invalid numeric format string was used to convert characters to or from an Oracle number.
Action: See format specification in the description of the TO_NUMBER conversion function in the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
Cause: An invalid text string was used for converting to numbers.
Action: Use a valid input string and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to convert a negative number to an unsigned integer.
Action: Use the sign flag ORLTSB to convert a signed number.
Cause: An invalid parameter string was used to convert characters to or from an Oracle number.
Action: See format specification under the TO_NUMBER conversion function in the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
Cause: Rounding done due to the given string format causes overflow.
Action: Change the string format such that overflow does not occur.
Cause: An attempt was made to write a hexadecimal REF string into a buffer which is too small.
Action: Provide a buffer of the required size and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to give a hexadecimal string a length of zero or less.
Action: Specify a hexadecimal string length greater than zero.
Cause: The given hexadecimal string is invalid.
Action: Use the orlr2h() function for the value to obtain a valid hexadecimal string. Then retry the operation.
Cause: The given resize size is invalid.
Action: Ensure that the given size is in the required range.
Cause: An attempt was made to operate on an un-initialized variable-length array.
Action: Use the kolaini() function to initialize the variable-length array before performing an operation on it.
Cause: An attempt was made to resize a non-zero variable-length array to 0 elements.
Action: Do not perform this operation on a non-zero variable-length array.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a non-initialized variable-length array on the right-hand-side of an assignment (kolasg()) or as the destination array of an append.
Action: Use the kolaini() function to initialize the variable-length array, then retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a non-initialized variable-length array on the left-hand-side of an assignment (kolasg()) or the as the source array of an append (kolapp()).
Action: Use the kolaini() function to initialize the variable-length array, then retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a collection element at an index which does not exist.
Action: Specify the index of an element which exists, then retry the operation.
Cause: An invalid type code was used.
Action: Consult the ORO.H file for valid type codes.
Cause: An attempt was made to access a collection element which does not exist at the given index.
Action: Check for the existence of the element prior to calling the function. Then retry the function.
Cause: An attempt was made to use left hand and right hand side collections that are not of the same type.
Action: Ensure that the same collection type is passed for both left hand and right hand side of the operation (for example, ASSIGNMENT).
Cause: An attempt was made to delete an element of a VARRAY.
Action: Do not perform the DELETE ELEMENT operation on collections of type VARRAY. Ensure that the collection is not of type VARRAY prior to calling this function. Then retry the function.
Cause: An attempt was made to use an index not in the required range.
Action: Change the index so that it is in the required range, then retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to use an empty collection.
Action: Test to see if the collection is empty prior to invoking this function.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a trim size which is greater than the current collection size.
Action: Assign a trim size less than or equal to the collection size, then retry this function.
