Hi,
covered before use search....
in short :
in your project directory inside the RT_BP516 you'll find a file named:JOB.657285897.DT.1351835990.TRANS1
inside it line 598 holds the actual assignment in question
look in the beginning of the code to resolve the %%.. to the actual column/variables in question as they apear in your job.
then you'll find the column that has none numeric data where numeric expected.
this is simply something you need to transform to a numeric value.

IHTH,
