In article <RISINGER.95Jun30162632@netcom.netcom.com>, risinger@netcom.netcom.com (James A. Risinger) says: > We are trying to insert a quoted string into a column that is greater than 256 bytes. The column attribute is char(1000). The database will not allow inserting a quoted string > 256 bytes with dynamic SQL. Why is this? Is there a way around this problem? (Besides using non-dynamic SQL. We are experiencing this problem in tclisql.) Informix ver 7.1 Thanks for any info, >James James, I think 256 is the maximum limit for quoted literals in ESQL/C.
