SQL Query Error Help

[RCapps]

When running the below SQL Query I keep getting the following error:
Server: Msg 4924, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN failed because column 'ContractDef' does not exist in table 'zContractDefault'.

For some reason it is only returning the first 11 chars of the column name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

This query searches a DB and determines which columns are 'Invalid' if the column name is >30 and contains '_T' and then removes them and gives a report:

-- This conditional statement ensures that that the Drop statement is prepared to be run.
-- Requirements for Drop Statement to run are:
-- Req: The Currently Fetched table must be a different name than the last fetched table.
-- Reason: Allows less actual hits to the database for columns to be dropped. Each Drop Statement
-- can contain 2000 characters. This allows for roughly 40 columns to be dropped from a single table.
-- That estimate is based on an average Column size using the following equation:
-- 15 (high avg. base column name size) + 34 (constant size of the erroneous column) = 49
-- 2000/49 = 40.8... round down to 40.
-- This is a limitation.
-- Req: The Last Fetched Table and the Currently Fetched table cannot be Null. If so then it is likely
-- the first row in the fetch. This is wehre @Spec_Tbl_Eval gets first assigned. By a null value of
-- the first row.
