Updating files from the web

Hello All,

we have a problem trying to update a file from the web using ASP, this is in 
our ASP script

SQLINSERT="INSERT INTO mylib.myfile (NumField)"
SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT & " VALUES ("
SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT &"'" &NumField &"')"
set connupdate = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
connupdate.open "Provider=IBMDA400;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.x;", "ABC", "ABC"
connupdate.execute(SQLINSERT)
connupdate.close

The field Numfield is defined on the iSeries as 7,0 and we have tried both 
packed and zoned.


The error we get is the following.
SQL0408: Value for column or variable NumField not compatible. Cause . . . . . 
: The data type of the source value is not compatible with the data type of the 
target column or variable NumField

If we make the field alphanumeric then it works perfectly but we would rather 
not change half a dozen programs to make them handle an alhpa field instead of 
the numeric.

Anybody any ideas?

TIA 

Steve
