ORA-30688

maximum program calling depth exceeded

Cause

Your program contains a set of calls that are too deep to be handled. Only transitions between the different execution engines (SQL, PL/SQL, and Java) count in reaching this limit; calls within the same engine don't count.


Action

Restructure your program so as to not call so deeply. Perhaps some recursion can be replaced with iteration.
