ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

Question

I tried the following code different ways, like by taking out the while or the if, but when I put both together (if and while), I always get the error at the end...

Answer 1

This may also happen if you have a faulty or accidental equation in your csv file. i.e - One of the cells in your csv file starts with an equals sign (=) (An excel equation) which will, in turn throw an error. If you fix, or remove this equation by getting rid of the equals sign, it should solve the ORA-06502 error.
