  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch in data types between the source field and the target field. For example, trying to convert a character field to a numeric field without proper formatting.
  Invalid Data: The data in the source field may not be valid for the target field. For instance, if the source field contains characters that cannot be converted to a number.
