Subject Varchar assigned to varchar -> "Conversion error from string"
Author Jorge Andrés Brugger
Following there are two versions of a simple SP (stripped down of a more
complex real case):

1)
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_GENERAR_TRANSFERENCIA (
OBSERVACIONES Varchar(2500)
)
AS
insert into transferencias values(:observaciones);
end

2)
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_GENERAR_TRANSFERENCIA (
OBSERVACIONES Varchar(2500)
)
AS
insert into transferencias values(cast(:observaciones as varchar(2500)));
end

When the parameter is empty, first one generates a "conversion error
from string". Second one works fine.

I´ve already solved the problem (using cast), but I´m curious about the
reason of the error at the first case ...
