Well not always.
Here’s a statement with the same failure and it turns out that a space after the period is the problem.
Move the space to the left of the ‘.’ and it is fine.

===============
DECLARE @ag TABLE ( id INT, NAME VARCHAR(20) )
INSERT INTO @ag
SELECT id ,
name
FROM dbo.AG
WHERE customerid = 1
AND name IN (‘Foxborough Reg. Charter’)
=========================
This would work.
…
WHERE customerid = 1
AND name IN (‘Foxborough Reg .Charter’)
————————-
Interesting that the ‘.’ is like a delimiter.
Watch out for this cause it means your query is not correct

No need of changing the column width just use CAST function with required length

Hi,
How do you figure out which field that causes the error?
Cheers,
