Paula, Check the proc. According to the docmentation: Cause: In a host language program, a FETCH call was issued out of sequence. A successful parse-and-execute call must be issued before a fetch. This can occur if an attempt was made to FETCH from an active set after all records have been fetched. This may be caused by fetching from a SELECT FOR UPDATE cursor after a commit. A PL/SQL cursor loop implicitly does fetches and may also cause this error.

It runs successfully in another 9.2.0.4 database I setup = on another host. Same database setup, version, processes and = procedures. However, I am getting a specific error message: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence My thinking is that it likely is an issue with how the proc. is coded. = However, I also think the reason it hasn't come up on the other database = environment is that the number of rows would have been around 100K = versus 800K (due to a delay in running this nightly batch process). Any suggestions on what to look for in the code with the specific error = above could the number of rows make the difference?
