Hi
Below one is model table, am getting strange issue, i dont know
how overcome this issue


Declare @t table
(
	a numeric(4,2)
)
Declare @b varchar(4)
Set @b='2004'
Insert into @t
Select ISNULL(CONVERT(decimal(4,2),@b), 0)

In above things, working in trigger. Passing parameter is varchar type. we tried to insert varchar type to number type field. at the time am getting
error message.
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.
Even i tried to convert the varchar to numberic, and also am getting same issue.

You need numeric(6,2). Numeric(4,2) only supports two digits to the left of the decimal place and two digits to the right. Numeric(6,2) would be 4 to the left and 2 to the right.

Declare @t table
(a numeric(6,2))
Declare @b varchar(4)
Set @b='2004'
Insert into @t
Select ISNULL(CONVERT(decimal(6,2),@b), 0)
