I am running an SQL Server Job, that executes a stored procedure with about 900 commands (mostly insert commands). The job was working OK, but suddenly fails, due to erroneous data (error message: overflow in converting numeric data to datatype numeric!). How can I find the exact point (command) where the job fails? (SQl Server error description is not very useful).

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

You could add some logging to the procedure, for example, inserting into a log table, or using the xp_logevent procedure.

If you are using explicit transactions, you might want to log to a table variable, and insert to an actual database table from it after rolling back your transaction.

Odds are you are adding numbers up, and that the value is larger than your numeric datatype allows for.
