Hi - I am unable to understand an error which I am continously getting while running a small code. Actually I am trying to access IBM AS400 table. Here is the code and error description

LIBNAME AS400 ODBC DSN = 'C400'; SYSTEM = TABLE_X SCHEMA=DIRECTORY;

PROC SQL;

  Create Table SASUSER.TestRun AS

  Select *

  FROM AS400.TABLE_X

  WHERE Me_ID EQ '0213456'

  ;

QUIT;

ERROR: CLI prepare error: [IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32-bit)][DB2/400 SQL]SQL data

       type argument out of range.

SQL statement: SELECT * FROM TABLE_X.

On the other hand, when I try to access other table in the same database, it gives me all the desired results.Here is the code:

LIBNAME AS400 ODBC DSN = 'C400'; SYSTEM = TABLE_Y SCHEMA=DIRECTORY;

PROC SQL;

  Create Table SASUSER.TestRun AS

  Select CDNO, ACLMT, STS, NAME, BAL

  FROM AS400.TABLE_Y;

QUIT

The code is same except the table names of the same databse. Please help me to resolve the problem.

thanks
