    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Thanks for ur reply..

    You had changed 1,2,14,37,44 as 1,2,3,4,5

    But it is host file field order only.

    I have to specify sequence order? Because

    i am selecting 1,2,14,37,44 filed from table (file) and then load into destination table as 1,2,3,4 and 5 order.

    Now also it shows same eror

    Ugh... that's what I thought you did... post the record layout for the file and lemme show you what you need to do...
