Hi! I'm dealing with a very odd problem and I was hopping that someone among this list could please enlighten me on this matter. Somewhere within a DTML method I have to call a Z SQL Method that basically updates an attribute of a specific record on a table (as described below): UPDATE Table1 SET attrib1 = <dtml-sqlvar attrib1 type="string"> WHERE table_id = <dtml-sqlvar table_id type="int"> Whenever I test this SQL Method setting attrib1 with a string containing extended characters (õ, â, í, etc.), I get the following error: Error, sql.error: ('S1000', -802, '[INTERSOLV][ODBC InterBase driver] [InterBase]arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation, Cannot transliterate character between character sets') I thought the problem would lie somewhere in the query or in some database definition or property, but when I tested the exact same query with the same input parameters in IB Expert (Interbase Client Tool) everything worked out well. I'm working with an Interbase DB with a common Z ODBC Database Connection. Can someone give me a hint in how to solve this problem? thanks in advance, Vitor Varalonga
