i understand that, Helen,
but, is there a way to call a sp from another with a blob param?
using F_STRBLOB(varchar, blob) i have the limit of 254 chars.
the problem begins with de first sp that does not receive a blob as param.
if the only way to assign a blob inside a sp is by calling F_STRBLOB, well
i'll use it.
