RE: SQL insert error - value for column too long

I believe that text belongs to
DSPMSGD RANGE(SQL0404) MSGF(QSQLMSG)

Can you supply a DSPFFD of the from column, and the to column?

Subject: SQL insert error - value for column too long

running an SQL insert:

insert into wlklib/DSHPF34
( select a.* from DSHXFR/DSHPF34 a )

get error: Value for column or variable AUTOSEND846 too long.

the help text says: the length of AUTOSEND846 is 1 and the length of the string is 10.

but the from field length is 1. To prove it I use the HEX function to dump the column value:

select hex(a.autosend846) from dshxfr/dshpf34 a

and the result is :
HEX
D5

why this error?
