Hi,

This is somewhat interesting,please clear this doubt,

My database(9.2.0.6) trigger contains the following insert statement in it,

INSERT INTO Document_execption ( c_id,
c_desc,
c_old_status,
c_new_status,
d_exception_date)
values (I.C_ID,
substr(sqlerrm,1,200)
:OLD.C_STATUS,
:NEW.C_STATUS,
SYSDATE);


This trigger is compiled successfully in oracle version 9.2.0.6.

But the same trigger in database version 9.2.0.8 gives the following error,

PL/SQL: ORA-00984: column not allowed here

It points to the column substr(sqlerrm,1,200),then i changed to it,

ERRMSG:=sqlerrm

INSERT INTO Document_execption ( c_id,
c_desc,
c_old_status,
c_new_status,
d_exception_date)
values (I.C_ID,
ERRMSG,
:OLD.C_STATUS,
:NEW.C_STATUS,
SYSDATE);


Then the trigger is compiled successfully.

What could be the reason for this error? Is this due to version difference or
i've to do anything so that i can use the same code as it is in 9.2.0.6 without
modifying anything in insert statement?

Thanks..

a "," is missing after "substr(sqlerrm,1,200)".
