RE: [sqr-users] Data truncated during update from flat file

[Amber S <amber_sqr@yahoo.co.uk>]

I have checked the field length in the database and
there arnt any tabs in the input file.

Here is the procedure that does the update
!************************************************************************
Begin-procedure Update_PS
!************************************************************************
Display $Dv_Position_Nbr
Display $Job_Effdt
Display $DV_Job_Title
Show 'Updates' #sql-count

Begin-Sql

UPDATE
PS_POSITION_DATA

SET
PS_POSITION_DATA.DESCR = $DV_Job_Title
WHERE
PS_POSITION_DATA.POSITION_NBR = $Dv_Position_Nbr
AND
PS_POSITION_DATA.EFFDT >= (SELECT MAX(EFFDT)
        FROM PS_POSITION_DATA PD2
        WHERE PS_POSITION_DATA.POSITION_NBR =
PD2.POSITION_NBR
        AND PD2.EFFDT <= $Job_Effdt)

End-Sql

End-Procedure
