The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to resolve ORA-01722: invalid number error when updating a table with the DECODE statement

Asked by dbatay in Oracle SCM, Oracle 10.x, WebApplications

Tags: ORA-01722: invalid number, Update Table, DECODE statement, Oracle

I have a form in Oracle APEX that is using a Named LOV to allow the user to select 'YES' or "NO' for grant requested. These values are being written back to a table that contains 1 for Yes and 2 for No. My variable to hold the selected LOV value is a VARCHAR.

How can I resolve this error?

Thanks in advance for looking at my problem.

             DECLARE
MY_ID         NUMBER;
grant_requested  VARCHAR2(3);
 
BEGIN
if :P370_DSP_BREQUESTED = 'DSPBIF' then  -- Allow setting of grant_requested value only
  FOR i IN 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
  MY_ID 	  := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);  
  grant_requested   := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(i);  -- grant_requested(YES or NO)
    UPDATE TBL_GRANTS_REQUESTED
    SET grant_requested_id = decode(grant_requested_id,
    1, 'YES', 
    2, 'NO', grant_requested)
    WHERE grant_requested_type_id = MY_ID;
  COMMIT;
  END LOOP;
