      Hi,

      I've got the strange problem, please go through with my findings.

      SELECT data_utils.column_list('CHRY_PM_AJ.PARTS@EPC_TARGET', 0, 0, NULL,1, NULL, NULL, 0) FROM DUAL
      *
      ERROR at line 1:
      ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
      ORA-06512: at "CHRY_PM_AJ.DATA_UTILS", line 492
      ORA-06512: at line 1

      In the above code, Data Utils is a package and column_list is a function.As you can clearly see, the above code works well in first case, but in the second case, the same code does return an error, howerve the database version is not same.

          Could you paste here line 492 of data_utils package? Maybye there are some different parameters settings on those databases?

            Thanks Lukas, but I've copied the same package to the schema, where I am getting the errors.However, I'll paste the those lines.

            CHRY_PM_AJ
            OPEN c_RefCur FOR -- line 492
            'SELECT CASE ' ||
            'WHEN ' || p_IncExcStyle || ' = ' || INCLUDE_BUT_NULL || ' AND ' ||
            'l = 1 THEN ' ||

            CHRY_PM_STAGE

            OPEN c_RefCur FOR
            'SELECT CASE ' ||
            'WHEN ' || p_IncExcStyle || ' = ' || INCLUDE_BUT_NULL || ' AND ' ||
            'l = 1 THEN ' ||
            '''NULL'' || DECODE(' || p_AS || ', 1, '' AS '' || c)' ||
            'ELSE ' ||

              Alok,
              2 things I would say,
              1)I hope you are familiar that there is a code tag that you can use to format your code.Please use it otherwise it becomes harder to read.
              2)I amnot sure that by looking at a snippet of a code, me atleast wil lbe able to point on some thing.The data versions are different.Did this package got compiled successfully in the first place or not?
              I shall suggest try running offending sql manualy on sqlplus and see if it works or not.

                These are just a few lines and not the complete code. I've also tried it to run from SQLPLUS, but it's coming out with the same error. Also, I've copied the same code to the CHRY_PM_AJ schema, where we are facing problems. According
                to me, the problem is caused by different database versions, As you can clearly see in BANNER section. But I am not sure, I'vle aslo tried to execute the same
                lines of code on 9.2.0.8.0 and it's works fine. what's you say ?

                  Well I asked to check the offending query only.If that isnot working even and you think that version is the issue than I guess raise an SR and let Support handle it.

                    I was discussing the same thing. I meant, I did try to run the offending query on the different database version and it wored fine! Below are my findings.

                    ELECT data_utils.column_list('COMPARE_PM.PARTS@TEST1', 0, 0, NULL,1, NULL, NULL, 0) FROM DUAL;

                    DATA_UTILS.COLUMN_LIST('CHRY_PM_STG.PARTS@EPC_TARGET',0,0,NULL,1,NULL,NULL,0)
