When outputparameter value exceed limit characters(8000)value got truncated

` request.on(‘returnValue’, (name, value, matadata)=>{

 result[name] = value; // if value is over 8000 characters value will got truncated

}); `

I tired using Text and NText both got error. Using VarChar has only 8000 limit characters. Not sure if there is any solution for this. I also post this issue in stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62824283/tedious-package-when-outputparameter-value-exceed-limit-characters-8000

reading by row fixed our current error, thanks for your info i will try the above way as well. Thank you so much for you dig into this.

This looks more like a sqlserver config error than tedious, because calling the stored procedure from tedious, the server itself is sending back truncated data (There’s a b at the 8,001 position in the database but as you can see the b has been cutoff).

Some work arounds I’ve seen is to do a while loop in the stored procedure (source)

DECLARE @Counter INT
SET @Counter = 0
DECLARE @TotalPrints INT
SET @TotalPrints = (LEN(@script) / 8000) + 1
WHILE @Counter < @TotalPrints 
BEGIN
    -- Do your printing...
    SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
END

See if the above while loop will help fix your issue?

And yeah, when trying to use Text instead of VarChar I’m receiving a deprecation warning as well… Data type 0x23 is a deprecated large object, or LOB, but is marked as output parameter. Deprecated types are not supported as output parameters. Use current large object types instead.
