"More than one source value with contraction disallowed"

If I get the error message

"More than one source value with contraction disallowed."

while attempting to copy a monthly data series of integers (1's, 0's or -1's) from a database to a quarterly page in a workfile, what could the problem be? The only thing I can imagine is that it has to do with the fact that the monthly series is an integer variable and perhaps for some reason it won't average to a quarterly. Is there some other explanation?

Any chance you could provide the database/workfile?
