Can you look for lines where a value is assigned to :new.created_date? (Note this can't be in an AFTER trigger.) ":new.CREATED_DATE := cg$rec.CREATED_DATE;" looks likely. What is cg$PATIENT.cg$row_type?
Or, compile everything with debug and try the update statement through a debugger.
Is the code maintained through Designer? -----Original message----- From: Yong Huang Date: 29/9/08 22:44

The application sometimes has the following error:
Oracle Error Message:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "ODS_OWNER"."PATIENT"."CREATED_DATE"
(actual: 8292, maximum: 7)
SQL Statement:
UPDATE PATIENT SET ... WHERE (PRK = '860019')
Sometimes the same SQL has this error:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "ODS_OWNER"."PATIENT"."CREATED_DATE"
(actual: 16484, maximum: 7)
...
The SQL is not using bind variables. The DATE type column created_date is not
in the SQL. It's updated (if applicable) by a 439-line before-update trigger:
DECLARE
cg$rec cg$PATIENT.cg$row_type;
cg$ind cg$PATIENT.cg$ind_type;
cg$old_rec cg$PATIENT.cg$row_type;
BEGIN
-- Application_logic Pre-Before-Update-row <<Start>>
-- Application_logic Pre-Before-Update-row << End >>
-- Load cg$rec/cg$ind values from new
...
cg$rec.CREATED_DATE := :new.CREATED_DATE;
cg$ind.CREATED_DATE := (:new.CREATED_DATE IS NULL AND :old.CREATED_DATE
IS NOT NULL )
OR (:new.CREATED_DATE IS NOT NULL AND :old.CREATED_DATE
IS NULL)
OR NOT(:new.CREATED_DATE = :old.CREATED_DATE) ;
cg$PATIENT.cg$table(cg$PATIENT.idx).CREATED_DATE := :old.CREATED_DATE;
...
:new.CREATED_DATE := cg$rec.CREATED_DATE;
