    INSERT statement

    I'm trying to insert a values in a table, that has 3 columns. But I'm getting "ora-00984 : column not allowed here" - error. I've taken a value in w_total = 20865000 and executing
    insert into temp_latepos values ('USD',w_total,0) in VB 6.0. Please help me resolve this issue.
    w_total is the figure got by various calculations and cannot be the same every time. USD is always constant and 0 is also constant.

    ORA-00984 column not allowed here

    Cause: A column name was used in an expression where it is not permitted, such as in the VALUES clause of an INSERT statement.

    Action: Check the syntax of the statement and use column names only where appropriate.

    Typically ORA-00984 occurs while including a column name in the VALUES clause of an INSERT statement. To correct, you simply need to review the syntax of the SQL statement and only use column names where they are appropriate.

    insert into temp_latepos values ('USD',w_total,0)
    ... and Oracle is right, what is w_total doing there?
