PRB: Maximum TEXTSIZE in SAF and ISQLLast reviewed: April 25, 1997Article ID: Q70867 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSTrying to increase the amount of text returned by SAF or ISQL to more than 4K using the SET TEXTSIZE statement does not work.
CAUSEUsing the SET TEXTSIZE command with any value greater than 4096 has no effect on the actual amount of text that is returned from a SELECT statement issued through SAF or ISQL. Although the syntax allows you to set the TEXTSIZE value to be greater than 4K, the actual maximum that this can be set to in SAF and ISQL is 4K. You can, however, use the SET TEXTSIZE statement to set the TEXTSIZE to a value smaller than 4K.
WORKAROUNDNote that this is not an issue in a DB-Library (DB-Lib) application. If you are writing an application that will select data from a column with text datatype, by default you will only get the first 4K of data back. However, this can be changed by using the DBTEXTLIMIT and DBTEXTSIZE options.
