Greetings!!

Connecting to MSSQL via windows perl script. One of the columns has the 35000 bytes XML which i want to store in variable $OrigReportXML. Plan is to modify the XML and insert into another table. Any other column fetches fine, however, the $OrigReportXML is empty. No errors thrown as well.

1) Am setting as below per : 

    $dbh->{LongReadLen} = 50000;
    $dbh->{LongTruncOk} = 1;

    my $rv;
    my $cursor = $dbh->prepare($sqlstr) ;

    eval{
      $cursor->execute();
    };
    if ( $@) {
      $cursor->finish;
      exitApp("Error in execSql $@", -1);
    } else {
      pen ("Successfully executed the query");
      if (  length($colname) > 1) {
          my $row = $cursor->fetchrow_hashref;
          $rv = $row->{$colname};
          pen("Got SQlRet:" . $rv);
      } # if colname
    } # if error
  $cursor->finish;

2) If truncate is false it throws, even though it is set it to 50000, when the data is just 35000 bytes. 
$dbh->{LongTruncOk} = 0;

Throws error: DBD::ODBC::st fetchrow_hashref failed: MicrosoftSQL Server Native Client 10.0String data, right truncation (SQL-01004)

Any suggestions?

Advance thanks
