Why is my CString variable being cut off?

[Mikhael]

Any explanation? I thought CString has a huge limit? I am not even at 300
characters. What's up with that?

Thanks,

please post some code. Obviously, there is a bug lurking somewhere in
your code. CString should handle long strings without any problem.

Hello Danny,

Here's the code:

============================
CString cSQL;

cSQL = "Select Company,Duns_No,EDI_Contact,";
cSQL += "EDI_Contact_Phone,EDI_Contact_Fax,";
cSQL += "Third_Party_Svc_Provider,URL_Address,";
cSQL += "ISA_Qualifier,ISA_Code,ISA_X12_Version,";
cSQL += "Signer_Key_ID,Signer_Pass_Phrase From G_EDI_TPA";
===========================

Thanks,
Mikhael

I want to know, the reason why you think that!
Can you only see 300 characters at watch or variable window, or you take
the CString.GetLength() method ?

OK, looks like you've hit a well-known limitation of the debugger, which
can display no more than 255 characters per symbol. This doesn't mean
however that the string is really chopped, you simply can't see the rest
of the characters in a debug window. My advice is to print it on the
screen, e.g., using cout or printf.

That is what i see on the watch window... I will try to see what I'd get
using GetLength.
