Can't find answer to Query Of Queries runtime error

Question

Not only I browsed this forum but also googled this problem but unfortunnately I have no luck in finding the answer.
All I did was writing this simple query:
<cfquery name="test" dbtype="query">
select SSN,BirthDate from myquery where SSN <> '' OR BirthDate <> ''
</cfquery>
and I got this error:
Query Of Queries runtime error.
Comparison exception while executing <>.
Unsupported Type Comparison Exception: The <> operator does not support comparison between the following types:
Left hand side expression type = "DOUBLE".
Right hand side expression type = "STRING".
I tried the following and did not work either, still got the same error.
<cfquery name="test" dbtype="query"> 
select SSN,BirthDate from myquery
where SSN <> <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value=""/>  
OR BirthDate <> <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value=""/></cfquery>
Has someone ever encountered the same problem and know how to solve it?

HELP ! ! !  Going into testing soon. I need this to work to get correct report results ! ! ! !
My issue seems similar to the one under discussion and the reply from lawhite01 caught my eye. Can you roll my issue into this discussion?
This is a 2 parter. The second part is the QoQ part, but the 1st part has a line in the query that is similar to the QoQ one and it uses the same data. Part 1 also throws an error.
PART # 1.
I'm trying to use a query table created through QueryNew and then query it.
I need multiple columns in the query table I create:
<cfscript>
        tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum, JP_PDLoc, JP_JS_Title, JP_JS, JP_KW_1, JP_JobTitle, JP_Open, JP_Close, JP_CloseType, JP_CloseName, JP_PosNeed, JP_DirectHire, JP_Desc, JP_Draft, JP_Archived, JP_State, JP_AreaName, JP_AreaID, JP_AreaAlias, JP_Fac_SU, JP_Fac_Facility, JP_FAC_ID, JP_Grade1, JP_sal_low1, JP_sal_high1, JP_Grade2, JP_sal_low2, JP_sal_high2, JP_Grade3, JP_sal_low3, JP_sal_high3, JP_Grade4, JP_sal_low4, JP_sal_high4, JP_Grade5, JP_sal_low5, JP_sal_high5, JP_Posted, JP_TypeHire, JP_HRemail");
    </cfscript>
Then I populate all the cells of the query table.
Then I set up to use the created query table.
I do this first:
    <cfquery name="qAltPostID" datasource="#at_datasource#">
         SELECT AltPoster, fk_Job_AnnounceNum
         from JOB_JPContacts
         Where AltJPContactType = 'AltPosterID'
         and AltPoster = '#session.IHSUID#'
         </cfquery>
Then, in my first query using the created query, I expect to need to choose from multiple values, so I'm using this line in the query (this is NOT a QoQ query):
            and AnnounceNum IN (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_varchar" value="#ValueList(qAltPostID.fk_Job_AnnounceNum)#">)
I've also tried:
               and AnnounceNum IN (#ValueList(qAltPostID.fk_Job_AnnounceNum)#)   
and:
               and JOB_AnnounceNum IN
                SELECT fk_Job_AnnounceNum
                from JOB_JPContacts
                Where AltJPContactType = 'AltPosterID'
                and AltPoster = '#session.IHSUID#'
ERROR is: one record should return. I get 0.
PART # 2: Here's the QoQ part.
I get the error:
Query Of Queries runtime error.
Comparison exception while executing IN.
Unsupported Type Comparison Exception: The IN operator does not support comparison between the following types:
Left hand side expression type = "LONG".
Right hand side expression type = "STRING".
A tutorial I found gave an example using only one column for this part of the fix:
     tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum", "CF_SQL_VARCHAR")
How would I set up the query with the datatype when I'm using multiple columns:
<cfscript>
        tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum, JP_PDLoc, JP_JS_Title, JP_JS, JP_KW_1, JP_JobTitle, JP_Open, JP_Close, JP_CloseType, JP_CloseName, JP_PosNeed, JP_DirectHire, JP_Desc, JP_Draft, JP_Archived, JP_State, JP_AreaName, JP_AreaID, JP_AreaAlias, JP_Fac_SU, JP_Fac_Facility, JP_FAC_ID, JP_Grade1, JP_sal_low1, JP_sal_high1, JP_Grade2, JP_sal_low2, JP_sal_high2, JP_Grade3, JP_sal_low3, JP_sal_high3, JP_Grade4, JP_sal_low4, JP_sal_high4, JP_Grade5, JP_sal_low5, JP_sal_high5, JP_Posted, JP_TypeHire, JP_HRemail");
    </cfscript>
I used this code after all the cells contained values and before running my QoQ query:
        <cfloop index="intID" from="1" to="#tot_AllCurrentDraftListing.recordcount#" step="1">
            <cfset tot_AllCurrentDraftListing["AnnounceNum"] [intID] = JavaCast("string", intID) />
        </cfloop>
          Is that correct?
Thanks.
Whoever can help me with this should be awarded extra points ! ! ! !
