Just ideas to consider - there's not enough information here to pinpoint
the exact problem.

The pertinent difference between IBX and native IBO here is that IBX will
reference a TField descendant, whereas IBO doesn't use persistent field
objects at all. You are getting the potential for run-time casting errors
because your code is using the Value method of the params[] and fields[]
objects of two different dataset objects. Value delivers variants, not
typed values; and by separating the first dataset from the second, the
second dataset has nothing to refer to when it needs to typecast the values.

As a guess, it's possible that you have an integer overflow here - perhaps
the second dataset is trying to push a 64-bit integer into a parameter
which it thinks is 32-bit...but it might well be a string overflow if you
are using Firebird 1 with large varchars...or a miscasting of a numeric or
integer to a float or double.

If possible, you should keep the Insert operation inside the context of the
first dataset and use its InsertSQL property to perform your
insert. Passing parameters from one dataset to another in order to perform
a DML operation on the same row is not very IBO-like. Is there any special
reason why you need a scrollable dataset to perform a DML query?
