This procedure uses level ID instead of level name when saving a value. procedure set_value_as_date_by_id ( p_path in varchar2, p_name in varchar2, p_level_type in varchar2, p_level_id in integer, p_value in date, p_commit in boolean default FALSE );

Version: Oracle Portal 3.0.6.6.5 or later
Parameters
p_path | The path for the preference name. Datatype: in varchar2
p_name | The preference name. Datatype: in varchar2
p_level_type | A constant value for the type of level at which the value is stored. Datatype: in varchar2
p_level_id | The ID of the user or group for whom the preference is being stored. Note: If level type is SYSTEM_LEVEL_TYPE, then the level ID must be wwpre_api_value.SYSTEM_LEVEL_ID. Datatype: in integer
p_value | The date value to be stored. Datatype: in varchar2
p_commit | This parameter is now obsolete. It is left here only to ensure that when older code is used, it still compiles.
Exceptions: If the value is not a date, VALUE_ERROR_EXCEPTION is raised. If the path is not found, PATH_NOT_FOUND_EXCEPTION is raised. If a duplicate path is found, DUPLICATE_PATH_EXCEPTION is raised. If the name is not found, NAME_NOT_FOUND_EXCEPTION is raised. If a duplicate preference name exists for the specified path, DUPLICATE_NAME_EXCEPTION is raised. If the value has not been stored, a GENERAL_PREFERENCE_EXCEPTION is raised. Example: This example sets the default expiry date to 12/01/2001 at the user level. declare l_varchar2_value varchar2(4000) := null; l_number_value number := null; begin wwpre_api_value.set_value_as_date_by_id ( p_path => 'ORACLE.PORTAL.TEST.STYLE.DEFAULT', p_name => 'EXPIRE_DATE', p_level_type => wwpre_api_value.USER_LEVEL_TYPE, p_level_id => wwctx_api.get_user_id, p_value => 12012001 ); exception when VALUE_ERROR then dbms_output.put_line ( 'Invalid value for font_name at user level' ); end;
