Hi Guys, I have one export query has been modified and now it exports in LONG VARCHAR format. Previously it did not and it just fit to the data table length. How can I adjust it back to fit as the data is? The message I get during the export is "Exported data includes LONG VARCHAR, LONG VARBINARY, and/or JAVA OBJECT columns. A width of 32768 bytes/characters will be assumed for these columns." The below is the script:
However if I go to DBISQL and output the specific function: replace((substring(micros.dly_srv_prd_trk_ttl.trk_cnt_62,1,9)),' ','') It is exporting in a nice way where the data size is fit to the number instead of 32768 characters. Please help. Regards, Christian |
You can use the builtin exprtype function to find out what data type is generated for a particular column in a result set. Starting with v10, you can also use the sa_describe_query system procedure to find out about the data type (and much more) of each column of a result set. Note: You will have to mask any single quote within your query as these functions/procedures require the complete statement as a string, so double all single quotes... After you have find out what expression returns an undesired data type, you can certainly cast that to a fitting data type, such as
Thanks Volker Barth, you're genius. I'd tried Cast function to restrict the data output type to desired number, it's working now. Thank you again!

Well, I think the thanks should not go to me but to the SQL Anywhere team for making helpful functions like exprtype() available:) - Glad you got it working.
