Max length for stage variables

Post by ShashankDon »

Hi,

I'm trying to concatenate few columns in a stage variable in DS server version. It works fine till some columns and gives up after adding more columns. Is there a specified length for stage variables.

Thanks,

Shashank

There is no practical maximum length. But if you try to concatenate a NULL, then everything after that is NULL.
