[CLOSED] SQLOUT VARCHAR2(4000) to TX50?

I don't see anything here that addresses this, until this post is done.

My questions are:

1) Why does a source field with a format of VARCHAR2(4000) in SQLOUT convert to TX50?

2) Without HOLDing SQLOUT to another HOLD file, how can I keep this field as "A4000V"?

[B]Caveat[B]: We would prefer not to alter the input / source file (out of scope for this task).

Have a look at the following command.

ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION LONGCHAR {ALPHA|TEXT|BLOB}

This may help.

We applied the "ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION LONGCHAR ALPHA" solution, and it worked.
