PeopleSoft Enterprise FIN Project Costing - Version 9.2 to 9.2 [Release 9]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When the user tries to insert data into PS_PROJ_RES_DEL after building it, it fails with the below error. The insert works if the user does not create the table, it will not work if the table is dropped and recreated and this happens in some environments.

Error:

SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column "SYSADM"."PS_PROJ_RES_DEL_TMP"."DESCR" (actual: 32, maximum: 30)
12899. 00000 - "value too large for column %s (actual: %s, maximum: %s)"
*Cause: An attempt was made to insert or update a column with a value
  which is too wide for the width of the destination column.
  The name of the column is given, along with the actual width
  of the value, and the maximum allowed width of the column.
  Note that widths are reported in characters if character length
  semantics are in effect for the column, otherwise widths are
  reported in bytes.
*Action: Examine the SQL statement for correctness. Check source
  and destination column data types.
  Either make the destination column wider, or use a subset
  of the source column (i.e. use substring).

Replication Steps:

  1. In the debugging process, the PROJ_RES_TMP_DEL table was dropped.
  2. Using app designer, the build SQL was generated.
  3. Using SQL developer the, SQL script was executed.
  4. Now when trying to insert data into the table that has the description field value with special characters whose length = length of PROJ_RES_TMP_DEL.DESCR.
  5. The above error is received.
