Hi All,

I am creating a Database function which returns a CLOB and when I call it in sql statement and converting using to_char I can only see 4000 characters and my clob returns more than 5000+ characters. how can i solve this I want to display entire text in sql and that too in character string only...
as I am using this function in a report builder I want convert the CLOB to varchar...

regards,
aditya.

I haven't used Reports is quite a while, but isn't Reports capable of handling CLOBs? Is it necessary to convert it to a varchar2?

hi frank,

Yaa I accept but in my reports I have attached a html file to the paper layout and sending the function output to the html file. so, I cant use the CLOB datatype.

aditya.
