Sendkeys methods takes only CharSequence as it's parameter. But your are passing an integer as an argument. That's why you are getting a type casting error. Replacing

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[@id='batch-update-number-cases']")).sendKeys(individual_units);

with

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[@id='batch-update-number-cases']")).sendKeys(individual_units+"");

or

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[@id='batch-update-number-cases']")).sendKeys(String.valueOf(individual_units));

will resolve your problem.
