tsql - T-SQL VARCHAR(MAX) Truncated

Question

DECLARE @str VARCHAR (MAX);

SELECT @str = COALESCE(@str + CHAR(10), '') +
       'EXECUTE CreateDeno ' + CAST(ID AS VARCHAR) 
FROM   GL_To_Batch_Details
WHERE  TYPE = 'C' AND
       Deno_ID IS NULL;

--PRINT @str;--SELECT @str;
**EXEC(@str);**

EDITED

Does EXECUTE statement truncate strings to 8,000 chars like PRINT? How can I execute a dynamic SQL statement having more than 8,000 chars?

Any suggestion would be warmly appreciated.

Answer 1

PRINT is limited to 8k in output.

There is also an 8k limit in SSMS results pane.

Go to

tools -> options -> query results

to see the options.

To verify the length of the actual data, check:

SELECT LEN(@str)
