Hi again-

I've tried the LongReadLen, and it still truncates. The database team has said that they kept the type varchar to save space in the database, and that it is possible to go over the 255 character contstraint for the varcar, so I am at a loss why the truncation still happens. Here is a clip of the new code with the LongReadLen attribute set:


$dbh->{LongReadLen} = 65536;
$statement = 'SELECT Description FROM DevelopmentTool WHERE ShortName like "%PSP%"';
$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement);
$sth->execute;

while (($Description) = $sth->fetchrow) {

print $Description . "\n\n";

}
Talk soon.
