Hi Vijaya,

This is a custom table, hence i would suggest you to debug and check how are the entries added in this table. Might be the case that these are getting passed from some other table as it is or some conversion error(can't be sure unless we know when it occurs and the logic).

Please let me know if you need more details.

Regards,

DN.

Hi,

Looks like a custom table with character field a best scenario to put in a junk value. Do a where used list of then table should be a limited list of programs that use it then check for UPDATE or INSERT statements using this table. You may find the program which does this.
