Hi,

Enterprise Manager, DTS 2000 - Set Maximum Characters per column.

I have a query which is okay when i run via Query Analyzer 2000 becuase I set the limit via
Query Analyzer 2000: Tools - Options - Results - set maximum characters per column

But when I create a DTS package - it does not work and cuts off the text.

Does anyone know how to set this in Enterprise Manager + DTS ?

Thank You

Regards
Ismail

What is your source data, and how do your target table look like?

Thank You for the response.
I'm outputting to an ASC file. Which the end product being one column (OutputVar)which is derived from a pipe delimeted query.

Query:
select
'Period|Region|Node Level 1|Node Level 2|Node Level 3|Node Level 4|Customer|Merch Group|Merch Region|Merch Rep|Category|SubBus Unit|Sales Volume|Sales Value' as OutputVar

Union All

Select
rtrim(V_Main)
+'|'+str(Sales_Volume,9,4)
+'|'+str(Sales_Value,9,4)


Result: only stores 256 then cuts it off
