See the length of Tbl_FS_Mst.C_Parent and fsc.[reporting code]. C_Parent does not have sufficient length to take the value coming in from [reporting code]

Without seeing your database I can tell you that you are trying to insert
a value into a database column which exceeds its length.

e.g. a column is defined as "Country varchar(5)"
and you try to insert "Germany" this error will occur
as the length of this value is greater than the database column allows.
