this type of error generally occurs when you have to put characters or values more than that you have specified in Database table like in this case: you specify transaction_status varchar(10) but you actually trying to store
_transaction_status which contain 19 characters. that's why you faced this type of error in this code..

You re trying to write more data than a specific column can store   Check the sizes of the data you re trying to insert against the sizes of each of the fields     In this case transaction status is a varchar 10  and you re trying to store 19 characters to it
