Hello j_ochoa,

Welcome to the monastery. From what I see from your error message: Couldn't prepare statement: Server message number=257 severity=16 state=1 line=0 server=DEVEL1 procedure=DBD3 text=Implicit conversion from datatype 'VARCHAR' to 'BIGINT' is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. it looks like the db is configured to accept 'VARCHAR' on this field that you are trying to insert the data.

Update: Sorry wrong answer. I did not see the token_id column is a bigint data type.

I do not have a sysbase db on my box so I can replicate and verify the error. Can you export the db so we can see the fields, or simply check the field if it is 'VARCHAR'?

You can try to convert it fellow monk poj posted bellow. Or try to convert it something like:

my $int = '123'; $int += 0; # convert to int not string any more

OR:

$int = int($int); # converted

OR:

$int = sprintf("%d", $int); # converted

Looking forward to your update, BR.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
