i'm trying to extract data from a source in salesforce but i'm having 'INVALID NUMERIC' error. Analyzing the log, i realized that error is being caused by a decimal number with many decimal digits, something like 40 decimal digits. Looking in the salesforce configuration, that fiel is defined with 2 decimal digits. Someone knows why the informatica cloud can't read this field and why is trying get this value with many decimal digits even being right in salesforce?
i'm getting the data directly from the salesforce,
through a connection. The data type in Informatica is decimal, even in source and target. The number in salesforce appears as 32.18 and is defined as decimal too, but when i try to get the data with informatica, this is the error: [ERROR] The [LOAD] job failed with the error - [Invalid NUMERIC value: 32.17999999999999971578290569595992565155029296875 Field: COLUMN; Value: 32.17999999999999971578290569595992565155029296875].

when I fill up the form and filled the contact no field then getting an error:
form contactno field:
contactno : 0101001010
Input string was not in a correct format
Database Editor:sql server management studio
table field : contactno(decimal(18, 0))
how to solve this issue?
As a general rule: can you do calculations wth a field? No? Then it's not a number; store it as NVarchar/string. Prices, amounts, VAT and discounts, all valid numbers. ID's, zipcodes, phone numbers not so much. What is an ID code + 1000?
In your case, the contactno seems to be an ID, not an arithmetic number. You're trying to store the value 0101001010 as a number, but numbers can't have prepended zeroes. This is what generates the string in invalid input format error.
The best fix would really be to make this field in the database a text-based column and treat the contact number as text throughout your code.
I get a error message I preview my report. I had to change my credentials for data server and changes the column names, but I didn't make any changes to the query. I get this error messages when I preview my report
An error occurred during local report processing. An error has
occurred during report processing. Cannot read the next data row for
the data set. conversion failed when converting from a character
string to uniqueidentifier.
I have two parameters both take number values so, I have them setup as text values. I have one more filter converting it to int. I changed my parameters to int and removed to filter to see if it worked, but I still get the same error message. The report worked when I ran it through my other credentials, I don't know why it giving me an error message now.
As The error already pointing out, you have character data type which cannot be converted to unique identifier type.
you have data type mismatch
I am having some issues with getting this data into my sql database. It keeps giving me errors stating it can not accept the data. I have used decimal which seems to fail. The only type I have got to work was varchar. However, I need to be able to be able to do math equations on the data which doesn't work with varchar.
The value is:
4.453099999999999881
ERROR: data conversion error (truncation)
Have you tried some FLOAT or DOUBLE?
try DOUBLE PRECISION(52,30)
or FLOAT(53) (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173773.aspx)

I'm facing a problem in a package to import some data from a MySQL table to Oracle table and MS SQL Server table. It works well from MySQL to SQL Server, however I get an error when I want to import to Oracle.
The table I want to import contains an attribute (unitPrice) of data type DT_R8.
The destination data type for Oracle is a DT_NUMBERIC as you can see in the capture.
I added a conversion step to convert the unitPrice data from DT_R8 to DT_NUMERIC.
It doesn't work, I get the following error.
I found the detail of the error :
An ORA-01722 ("invalid number") error occurs when an attempt is made to convert a character string into a number, and the string cannot be converted into a valid number. Valid numbers contain the digits '0' through '9', with possibly one decimal point, a sign (+ or -) at the beginning or end of the string, or an 'E' or 'e' (if it is a floating point number in scientific notation). All other characters are forbidden.
However, I don't know how to fix.
EDIT : I added a component to redirect rows/errors to an Excel file.
The following screenshot show the result of the process including errors :
By browsing the only 3000 rows recorded, It seems the process accept only int values no real. So if the price is equal to 10, it's OK but if it's 10,5 it's failed.
Any idea to solve this issue ?
Your NLS environment does not match the expected one. Default, Oracle assumes that "," is the grouping character and "." is the decimal separator. Make sure that your session uses the correct value for the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter.

We are inserting values into a SQL Server 2005 database column of type NUMERIC(19,5) from Perl. As long as the absolute values are .0001 or greater, it is working. However, when the values go to the 5th decimal place, Perl starts storing them in exponential format (-9e-05 instead of -0.00009), and then we get the error "Error converting data type varchar to numeric" from SQL Server. How do we prevent that and cause it to properly insert small numeric values?
We are using perl v5.8.5, DBI 1.56, DBD::Sybase 1.07, and SQL Server 2005.
The code is roughly the following, but I have removed the extraneous fields:
$invoice->{IL_UNITPRICE} = 0.09; # Actually comes from another database
$invoice->{IL_PRICEUNITCONV} = 0.001; # Actually comes from another database
$unitprice = $invoice->{IL_UNITPRICE} * -1 * $invoice->{IL_PRICEUNITCONV};
#$unitprice equals -9e-05 at this point.
$sth = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO foo ( bar ) VALUES ( ? )');
$sth->execute($unitprice);
The above line fails with error: DBD::Sybase::st execute failed: Server message number=8114 severity=16 state=5 line=2 server=baz text=Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
Try
$sth->execute(sprintf("%.6f",$unitprice));
To expand a bit -- When you pass a native float/double through the DBi interface it gets converted to a string, which, if you don't specify otherwise, uses Perl's default formatting conventions (imposed by the C compiler). The default is 6 digits precision, and if the number has more than that it's rendered in scientific notation.
To get fixed-point format you have to ask for it explicitly, using sprintf.
Actually I think using Math::Bigint and its associated Math::BigFloat would also solve this problem. Whenever I use floats or numbers of a sufficiently large size I use these modules so I don't have to throw sprintf's all over the place except when I really want to control the formatting.
