    instead of

    EXEC sp_executesql @sql

    use

    EXEC(@sql)

    which has no limits on the query size, since it's not parameterized. ou are not passing parameters via sp+executesql, so you'd be good to go, i think.

    Hi Lowell,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Because we are using the link server (OLAP) that will not allow string > 8000 Chars so it will pass the incomplete MDX query to server and give error while EXEC(@sql):

    FROM OPENQUERY(OLAP, ''' + @mdx + ''')'

    Actually

    INSERT INTO #MDXResults

    EXECUTE(@mdx) AT OLAP

    INSERT #tblData (Lot, Season, [Value], COGS, Units, Delivered, CountryRank, CountryValue, CountryCOGS,

    CountryUnits, CountryDelivered, SQM, [Shop Model], [Stock], CountryStocks)

    SELECT somecolumns

    FROM #MDXResults
