>>Yup, I also assumed that there's a full string which got truncated when it was pasted... but you're right, it was truncated somewhere upstream.
I've seen this from storing binary data in a memo rather than memo binary field in VFP, also from storing blobs in TEXT fields in SQL Server that truncated the blob intermittently.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
