Read Column more than 255 Characters

[bbobpop1]

Hi

I have a requirement in which, I need to read a column with has 100,000 characters. The source is a sequential file (.csv). Total Rows between 10 to 200.

Can I read the column in a sequential file as VARCHAR (100000)? If yes, what is the maximum length i can specify to read the column?

Thanks
Bob
