ORA-06502 PL/SQL character string buffer too small

I have a psp script with a procedure just to run an update on one
table.

The Problem occurs when I try to compile this script with pspload:
ORA-20006: "frsys_updatere port.psp": compilation failed with the
following errors.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too
small

Here the whole script:
=============== =============== =============== =============== =============== ===
<%@ page language="PL/SQL" %>
<%@ plsql procedure="frsy s_updatereport" %>
<%@ plsql parameter="p_fa ultnum" type="comp.faul ttab.faultnum%T YPE"%>

UPDATE comp.faulttab
SET comp.faulttab.p erssurname=p_pe rssurname,

comp.faulttab.p ersemail=p_pers email,
comp.faulttab.p ersofficetel=p_ persofficetel,

comp.faulttab.f aultcategory=p_ faultcategory,
comp.faulttab.f aultdescription =p_faultdescrip tion,
comp.faulttab.f aultassetnumber =p_faultassetnu mber,
comp.faulttab.s ignedoff=p_sign edoff;
WHERE comp.faulttab.f aultnum = p_faultnum;
%>
=============== =============== =============== =============== =============== ===

If I use this kind of script with just 3 or 4 parameters everthing
works fine. But as soon as the number of parameters get a bit bigger I
get this "character string buffer too small".

May the table-definition is usefull for a solution:
=============== =============== =============== =============== =============== ===
FAULTNUM NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
FAULTID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15)
PERSNUM NOT NULL NUMBER(9)
PERSSURNAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
PERSINITIALS NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
PERSTITLE VARCHAR2(4)
PERSEMAIL VARCHAR2(80)
PERSOFFICETEL VARCHAR2(80)
PERSCONTACTTEL VARCHAR2(80)
PERSBUILDING NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
PERSFLOOR NOT NULL NUMBER(3)
PERSROOM NOT NULL VARCHAR2(7)
PERSKEYSAVAILAB LEAT VARCHAR2(100)
FAULTCATEGORY NOT NULL NUMBER(5)
FAULTDESCRIPTIO N VARCHAR2(500)
FAULTASSETNUMBE R NUMBER(6)
TECHRESP NUMBER(9)
DATEREPORTED NOT NULL DATE
DATEUPDATED DATE
DATECOMPLETED DATE
SIGNEDOFF NUMBER(9)
TECHCOMMENTS VARCHAR2(500)
SOLUTIONDESCRIP TION VARCHAR2(500)
=============== =============== =============== =============== =============== ===

I have found the problem. It is located in the definition of the type.

<%@ plsql parameter="p_pe rssurname" type="comp.faul ttab.perssurnam e%TYPE"
default="''"%>
This compiles without a problem.

<%@ plsql parameter="p_pe rskeysavailable at" type="comp.faul ttab.perskeysav ailableat%TYPE"
default="''"%>
This doesn't compile and create the error:
ORA-20006: "frsys_updatere port.psp": compilation failed with the
following errors.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too
small

<%@ plsql parameter="p_pe rskeysavailable at" type="VARCHAR2"
default="''"%>
This also compiles without a problem. The row
comp.faulttab.p erskeysavailabl eat is defined as VARCHAR2.

It seams there is a strict limit for the lenght of the name (string)
in the type-declaration. Anyone there who knows about such
restrictions and may know how to change this limit?
