Is this an append or a merge? If you are appending, the only thing I can think of is that you are not creating the same variable "type" in both datasets. If you put some actual code up (not too much, just the relevant parts) I might see something, but it seems like either you are mixing two different types of variables (one maybe is a string and the other a number) or appending in some funny way.
