invalid number, when no invalid number

having an issue with Oracle throwing the error




ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
*Cause: The specified number was invalid.
*Action: Specify a valid number.




all locations follow the same rules, aside from a few abnormalities which have been excluded.



below is sample output:



enter image description here



Column A: being the row must be less than 39



Column B: being the height must be less than 17



Location_23_23 being the isle



some locations have a different design so ive added a '-' check at position 6 to eliminate those. ex (C0S1-0101)



ive exported the data and no abnormalities are found, but when scrolling through the results the error occurs.



code below:



select location_id,to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,7,2)))) asa,to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,9,2)))) as b,to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,4,2)))) as Location_23_23
from location
where location_id like '%C0S%'
and location_id not in ('C0SKRUSAGE','C0SKYUSAGE','C0SRBUSAGE')
and to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,7,2)))) < 39
and current_volume = 0
and to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,9,2)))) < 17
and to_number(ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,4,2)))) between 23 and 23
and substr(location_id,6,1) = '-'

  • Look att the following example SELECT TO_NUMBER(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTR('1234567a9',7,2)))) from dual This will give you the same error as you have but SELECT TO_NUMBER(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTR(' 1234567a9',7,2)))) from dual will not. Could it be that you need to make your LTRIM and RTRIM before SUBSTR. like SELECT TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(LTRIM(RTRIM(' 12345678a9')),7,2)) from dual.

select location_id as Location_id
from location

and location_id not in ('C0SKRUSAGE','C0SKYUSAGE','C0SRBUSAGE')
and ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,7,2))) < '48'

and ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,9,2))) < '15'
and ltrim(rtrim(substr(location_id,4,2))) between '65' and '86'
and substr(location_id,6,1) = '-'
