Tim,

Sorry for not giving the extra info. I'm using Oracle 8i. And the query is done by SPT using the 'Oracle ODBC Driver' Version: 8.01.07.00

I tried:

lcSqlStatement = "SELECT addr_no, cust_no, " +;
                 "DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(addr_line,1,255) AS addr_line, " +;
                 "city, state_cd, cntry_cd, zip_cd " +;
                 "FROM addr_dtl " +;
                 "WHERE addr_dtl.addr_no = " + TRANS(lnCustAddrNo)

But the value in the returned cursors' field was .NULL. I checked the table and there is a value in the field

Am I still missing something?
Mike
