Create Procedure Output ntext

rey
Hello,

I need to produce with T-SQL a user defined function or stored
procedure that make one SLQ-Statement and prepare as string from the
result set.
The request muss be able to return a very long unicode string. The
return value nvarchar is being truncated so I'm trying to create a
stored procedure, that returns a ntext string.

I can't manage it (I am no T-SQL specialist). Maybe someone can help
me?

Thanks for your help.

I think you cannot return that using an output parameter - you'll have to
return it as a field in a SELECT.

ntext is a valid datatype for the OUTPUT variable of a stored procedure.
This is not the problem. Your error appears here:
....
-- Part Output
print @onelevel

if (@return is NULL)
exec(@return+@o nelevel)
else
exec(@return+'* ;*'+@onelevel)
....
because if @return is Null then you do a
exec('1.00000*-*691*-*1684*-*3*-*0*-**-*0*-*2005-09-22T00:43:00*-*277')
and what should this be?
EXEC starts another stored proc, from there you get your error message. And
so it is an error in line 1.

Hello Helmut,

thanks for your answer.
With exec(@return+@o nelevel) I try to fill my @return variable with
the content of @onelevel. I can't do it with set @return=@onelev el
because @return is of type ntext.

How can I do it else?

thanks and bye,
Agnès.

Not sure if you can do this with ntext, but try this

select @return = @return + '*;*' + @onelevel

You can't. Since you are in a dead end, I suggest that you explain
your underlying business problem that you are trying to solve. What
does the calling side of this look like?

I can offer one workaround: move to SQL 2005, which offers the
new datatype nvarchar(MAX), which in difference to ntext is a first
class citizen.

What's wrong with returning it via SELECT rather than via a parameter?
