I created this function:

FUNCTION Fmemo_text (p_mtsn IN NUMBER)
return CLOB is
l_str CLOB;
BEGIN
Dbms_Lob.createtemporary(l_str,TRUE,Dbms_Lob.Call);
FOR x IN
(SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(MEMO_TEXT,chr(13),'Z'),CHR(10),'') AS MEMO_TEXT
FROM NC_MEMO_TEXT
WHERE MTSN = p_mtsn
ORDER BY TEXT_ORDER)
LOOP
Dbms_Lob.WriteAppend(l_str,Length(x.memo_text),x.memo_text);
END LOOP;
RETURN l_str;
END;

However when i tried this insert into table concat_memo_text (mtsn NUMBER,
memo_text CLOB) i get an error.

INSERT INTO CONCAT_MEMO_TEXT (mtsn,memo_text)
(SELECT mtsn,fmemo_text( mtsn ) MEMO_TEXT
FROM nc_memo_text
GROUP BY mtsn);

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 722

Any ideas why??
