SQL Function - Microsoft SQL Server

Sean

hello everyone,

I created a function in MSSQL that builds an html coupon based upon the
coupon ident (more complex than that, but that's not where i'm having
problems!)

When the function builds the coupon, it returns the stream as
VarChar(8000)

I am calling this function in a sproc that passes in the coupon ident.
But when I execute this sproc, I get the following error:

Syntax error converting the varchar value '<html>......"

What am I doing wrong? Are there problems with the datatypes I"m
using?

Thanks in advance for any help on this?

Are you calling the function as in : SELECT * dbo.myFunction or some other
way?
Could you post the function and the call from the sproc

Your major error in your post is that you don't include the code that
you use. I'm sorry, but it is not possible to help you from the description
you have given. You have apparently messed up the data types somewhere,
but that's all I can say.
