Subject Problem with params on Blob fields
Author Helmut Steinberger
Hello,

I have a problem when trying to fetch blob fields using params.
Example:

I have a table with
field1 varchar (30)
field2 blob sub_type text

Then I do the following:

select
field1
from table1
where field2 containing
:param1

When I put in a string longer then 30 charcters ( for example 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') into param1 I get an error message
"Can't format message 13:697 -- message system code -4.
Dynamic SQL Error.
SQL error code = -303.
Arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation."


This problem doesn't come up, when I do the following:

select
field1
from table1
where field2 containing
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Could anybody explain me that?

Kind regards
Helmut
