I am trying to insert incoming xml into sql server and its failing at the insert where xml has no value and attribute null="y",and field in sql is decimal so inserting '' empty string is not valid and throwing following error. Is there way to insert null instead of '' string. I tried _qual function.

Error: Error converting data: type varchar to numeric

tried: _qval(xpath(//row/total_amount),'single','null') still gets replaced with ''

Can someone help in how to insert into decimal field as default of null not ''?

There error msg is referring to trying to add an alpha " " to a numeric field.

What type of table are you updating? Can you add nulls to the column?

Here is a link to the documentation for
iWay Integration Suite
