Teradata Database Message 2661 - 2661 - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

Message

Invalid numeric value or bad string length.

Explanation

This error occurs due to either of two conditions: (1) An attempt was made to move a character or byte string data item into a character or byte field of shorter length (for example, moving a 5-character data item into a 4-character field). (2) The row under construction in EvlBuild is appending a numeric field that has a value not consistent with its evlRepresent_t length definition (for example, integer64 has value of length 2).

Generated By

The interpretative instruction processor.

For Whom

End User for case 1. Site support representative.for either case.

Notes

This is used for development debugging purposes and should never occur in the field.

Remedy

For case 1, the problem can be circumvented by changing the request to use strings of equal length. In either case, this is an internal error. Contact your Support Representative.
