String or binary data would be truncated. Error

[Kibbage.TEESO]

Why am I getting this error? All I want to do is set a bit field in my MSSQL DB to either a 0 or a 1. The arguments in my cfc are defined as:

<cfargument name="bitCurrYearID" type="boolean" required="yes">
<cfargument name="bitNextYearID" type="boolean" required="yes">

Error I receive:

Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]String or binary data would be truncated.

What happens if you run the proc with those arguments via Query Analyser
(or similar)

OK, that was the solution! I ran it from Query Analyzer and discovered that one of the tables' fields had grown by 100 characters. When the field is copied from one table to the other table I of course get this error!

What does the stored procedure look like?

[Kibbage.TEESO]

It's a big procedure with multiple steps. However you were on the right track. Thanks!

CF treats Boolean variables as true/false values, whereas you need 1/0 for the database. I typically use a CF numeric datatype as opposed to Boolean so there is no issue. Try changing that and see if it works.

I understand that that would be a work around but this should work. I have several of these types of fields and it seems like a bad design to use two bytes per field instead of a single bit.
