Hi Gerard,

You would get this error if you populate one or more properties of 'obj' object with data type that is different from the type of field with the same name. While INSERT FROM MANE will chocke on it with 'Data Type Mismatch' error, the GATHER NAME will implicitly perform data conversion and ignore any of properties with errors during such conversion.
