I have a large character variable (400,000 bytes), the result of a FILETOSTR() operation. I want to INSERT this value into a SQL Server varbinary(MAX) column.

This doesn't work:
lcFile = FILETOSTR( {some file} )

lcSQL = "INSERT INTO dbo.SomeTable ( VarBinCol ) VALUES ( ?m.lcFile )"

=SQLEXEC( MyHandle, m.lcSQL )

* ODBC error:
* Error Message: [Connectivity error: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Operand type clash: text is incompatible with varbinary(max)]
I can do this with a remote view but I've already coded the routine using SPT. If there's some magic trick to make this work using SPT I'd prefer to use that.
Regards. Al
