  • RE: Truncation warnings

    kramaswamy (11/28/2011)

  • RE: Truncation warnings

    Use DATALENGTH instead.

    DECLARE @i VARCHAR(99)

    SET @i = '123 ' --- the #'s 1,2 and 3 plus two spaces

    SELECT len(@i), datalength(@i)

    I've found the one and only thing that can mitigate the impact of this kind of stress is communication.

    Do your users have email applications on their desktop?

    If so, why not just use a mailto: action?

    Go into the textbox properties, select Action, Go to URL and enter an...

  • RE: Sending an email from WITHIN an SSRS 2008 report

    I'm not sure if the "code" approach would work, but it's worth a try.

    Another solution is a bit of a trick.
