The following DTS DDQ code results in a string length = 319 bytes.

The target column in SQL Server 7.0 is varchar(2000) and the parameter variable in the stored procedure is also varchar(2000).

When I run the package it fails at the EXECUTE line because the string is too long (greater than 128). The exact error is:

Error Source = Micorosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

Error description: The identifier that starts with '000000463 PO BOX 278 LUIS..... 'is too long. Maximum length is 128.

Again, I am using SQL Server 7.0 throughout.

Any clues as to where the bottleneck is?
