Hi Mitch!

Since you haven't provided much information beside the error message,
I'll start with a wild guess:

Your stored procedure contains a SELECT ... INTO ... and one of the
returned fields you somehow try to put in the PROJ_ID column? If so, my
guess is that the select doesn't return any row at all and PROJ_ID
becomes null. Modify your procedure to use a fixed number (as opposed to
a variable) and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, I'm
definitely wrong.

What do you mean by 'execute the procedure in IbExpert'? Are you talking
about executing the procedure in the 'Stored procedure debugger'? If so,
I doubt it is running in Firebird at all, I think IBExpert tries to
emulate Firebird (I doubt it is possible to really debug a procedure
within Firebird - well, at least for those of us who don't understand
BLR), and that is not the same as running the procedure. Try running the
procedure and not this debugger when the database is in the exact same
state as it is before running through your program (it should be
possible within IBExpert, and if not try isql or similar) and see if it
gets an error or not.

Also, I don't understand what you mean by 'the first time' - is it the
first time after you start the program, the first time it starts a new
project or the first time you put some data into some table?

If it isn't an empty value in the PROJ_ID column, tell us at least which
version of IBO you are using, show us parts of the stored procedure
(simplified as much as possible while retaining the error), tell us if
there are any triggers involved and keys/constraints on the tables involved.
