Procedure call in ORDS - oracle

Question

When I call the procedure through PL/SQL , it works fine but when i call the same through ORDS with same input , it throws the below error. Please correct me.
SQL Error Code: 6550, Error Message: ORA-06550: line 2, column 8: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘BALA_payc_details’ ORA-06550: line 2, column 8: PL/SQL:
Below is complete code

Postman JSON Input…
{
“nptype” : “S”,
“nptypevalue” : “23456”,
“card” : “Y”
}
This throws error ORA-06550: line 2, column 8: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘ ORA-06550: line 2, column 8: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘BALA_payc_details’’
2.. When I call the same procedure with below input in PL/SQL , it is working fine.
DECLARE
verrcode Number(10);
verrdesc varchar2(100);
v_refcur SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
TCTD.PKG_BALA.BALA_payc_details (‘S’,’23456′,’Y’,verrcode,verrdesc,v_refcur);
END;
Please let me know what I need to change in ORDS call?

Answer 1

The code you are executing successfully in pl/sql is NOT the same code that is in the handler. If you change the hander to the following they both are the same. Note that I copied this code from your question and the single quotes will not be valid when you copy this code back into your ide. Replace the quotes with proper single quotes.
ORDS.DEFINE_HANDLER(
p_module_name => ‘pay’,
p_pattern => ‘/inquiry’,
p_method => ‘POST’,
p_source_type => ‘plsql/block’,
p_items_per_page => 5,
p_mimes_allowed => ”,
p_comments => NULL,
p_source =>
‘DECLARE
verrcode Number(10);
verrdesc varchar2(100);
v_refcur SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
TCTD.PKG_BALA.BALA_payc_details(
finp_type => :nptype,
finp_value => :npvalue,
fIsPaycard => :card,
p_verrcode => verrcode,
p_verrdesc => verrdesc,
v_refcur => v_refcur);
end;’
);
But... with a ref cursor as bind variable that is probably never going to work. A ref cursor is an internal oracle type - how do you plan to pass that as part of a json payload ?
