Report created results in Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

Question

Hi ,
I created a report and when I run I get the following error. Not sure where to concentrate in terms of the columns that I have selected. One column I suspected is reptno which return a number and so was cast with
cast(test.REPTNO as Varchar(20)) but not sure whether that is the true culprit. If anyone has any suggestion or anything that would help me over this situation will be of great help.

Clearly the error is due to data type. You should get similar error if you run the SQL directly on your database.
Also, looks like you are missing operator in the following clause.
AND (test.GROUP_NAME 'Others')
