I did not find anything related to APEX export and ORA-06502 on the web.

Tried switching to SQLcl version to 20.3 and from 21.4 That didn't change anything and I got the same error in these version, too.

It seems to be some environment problem, as co-workers are able to export applications from the same database. When I try to export this application from the APEX App Builder it is working.

CodePudding user response：

The problem is caused by the NLS parameter NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS.

For switzerland this is ".'", so I guess the ' is the problem here.

This will resolve the problem:

alter session set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ',.';
