Returning clob type fails with ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

Hi All,
In Oracle DB 19c I have a stored procedure which accepts a list of IDs (Invoices ) as varchar2 type, calls a SOAP service which returns binary data and I then try to return this as CLOB type.
My proc works fine within the scope of SQL dev (I've tested it with multiple invoices and the result is OK) .
However, I've exposed it as REST but I struggle to find a way to return the binary data as CLOB.. When I test the REST for just 1 invoice it works fine, but whenever I pass more than 1 it fails with error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error.
I guess this is due to the fact that my OUT parameter (Response ) is type STRING rather than CLOB( which is not available from the LoV when I define the parameter... ). Any ideas how to return that CLOB please?
Pasting the handler here :
BEGIN
XXCITCO_PMOSS_UTL_PKG.PRINT_DRAFT_INVOICE(
P_POD_NAME => :P_POD_NAME,
P_INVOICE_IDS => :P_INVOICE_IDS,
P_BIN_OUTPUT => :P_BIN_OUTPUT,
P_STATUS => :P_STATUS,
P_MESSAGE => :P_MESSAGE
);
END;
Parameters are defined below:
From SOAP UI:
Thanks,
Aleks

You might need to use media resource and just return application/json with your BLOB on the response.
