Hi,

I am getting an error "Invalid character value for cast specification" .

Can anyone tell me what would be the exact problem?


Thanks

"cast" means an attempt to change a data type.

Somewhere in your design, either explicitly or implicitly, you are trying to perform a data type conversion but the source data are not amenable, for example trying to load "FR" into an integer column.
