Hi,

I have a dynamic SQL SP, there is one big piece of dynamic sql code which I have assigned to a Varchar(max) variable. However, when I print this the code is incomplete, the code is truncated after a certain spot. And I'm just printing it. I have tried breaking it up into pieces, using varchar(max) for the smaller pieces, then concatenating the variables in the print statement but still it truncates.

I read somewhere that varchar(max) is gigs worth of storage on sql2008 which I use. So then why would truncation be happening? If there's is an error in the code would Print be sensitive to that and fail?

It is the print. Check the Tools - Option - Query Result in SSMS
