Symptoms

When attempting to use a thesis tile that is more than 300 characters and making a program change to a student,
the following error occurs.

From Log:
Stmt #: 6812 Error Position: 113 Return: 12899 - ORA-12899: value too large for column "SYSADM"."PS_SSR_RS_TOPIC"."SSR_RS_THESIS_TITL" (actual: 307, maximum: 300)
Failed SQL stmt: UPDATE PS_SSR_RS_TOPIC SET EMPLID=:1,INSTITUTION=:2,SSR_RS_CANDIT_NBR=:3,SSR_RS_TOPIC_SEQ=:4,SSR_RS_THE
SIS_TITL=:5,SSR_RS_RSRCH_TOPIC=:6,SCC_ROW_UPD_OPRID=:7,SCC_ROW_UPD_DTTM=TO_TIMESTAMP(:8,'YYYY-MM-DD-HH24.MI.SS.FF') WHERE EMPLID=:9 AND INSTITUTION=:10 AND
SSR_RS_CANDIT_NBR=:11 AND SSR_RS_TOPIC_SEQ=:12 AND EFFDT=TO_DATE(:13,'YYYY-MM-DD') AND EFFSEQ=:14


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Assign thesis title to a grad student that has 300 or more characters including formatting
2. Go to Program/Plan for that student
3. Make a change to the program try to save
4. Note there is a message an sql error occurred, click okay
5. Note error to message of a fatal Peoplecode sql error occurred and click okay
