Hi, Borislav

No, This does not work. I still get 'string is too long.'

I have tried it several different way, and can not get it to work. I put it around each select statement in the case statement. I put it around the entire case statement - got a string length of 9530 that time. The string length with len() is under 2000 for most time except above statement.
