i have put a pre insert trigger on my block level to take max value of id and increase + 1 to it to generate a new id
here is my code
declare
	max_SYSid PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD.EDH_SYS_ID%TYPE;
        

begin
	select max(EDH_SYS_ID) into max_SYSid  from PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD;
	
	max_SYSid  := max_SYSid  + 1;
	message ('The New SYS id is :'||to_char(max_SYSid ));
	
	:PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD.EDH_SYS_ID := max_SYSid ;

end;


declare
	max_docno PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD.EDH_DOC_NO%TYPE;

begin
	select max(EDH_DOC_NO) into max_docno  from PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD;
	
	max_docno  := max_docno  + 1;
	message ('The New Doc. NO is :'||to_char(max_docno));
	
	:PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD.EDH_DOC_NO := max_docno ;
end;

but while complie it it give me an error which says
too many declarations of '+' match this call,
too many declarations of 'to_char' match this call,

It seems that MAX_DOCNO already IS of a character datatype (actually, as you've declared it as PT_EMP_DOCUMENT_HEAD.EDH_DOC_NO%TYPE, EDH_DOC_NO must be a character.

If so, in order to add 1 (a number) to the last MAX_DOCNO value, you'll have to code it a little bit:

max_docno := TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER(max_docno) + 1);
message ('The New Doc. NO is :'|| max_docno);

Finally, if this (what I've figured out) is true, could you consider storing NUMBER values into NUMBER datatype columns (instead of putting them into CHARACTER ones)?
