Invalid Length Parameter ....
Jun 13, 2003
I have a ##temp table which collects command (varchar(120)) info from sysjobsteps table as follows:
command
------------------------------
BACKUP DATABASE FDMS_11111_2 To Backup_11111_2_4Thu with init, name = 'Backup of Job_11111_2_4Thu'
Now, I need to extract the database name from the command string: It did return the correct database name but ended with error message.
select substring(command, 17, charindex(' To Backup_',Command)-17) from ##tempServerNameDatabaseNameJobHistory
Command
-------
FDMS_11111_2
FDMS_9999_2
(2 row(s) affected)
Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.

I have the follwoing stored procedure:ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_GetExecutionContext](@ExecutionGUID int = null) asbeginset nocount ondeclare@s varchar(500)declare @i intset @s = ''select @s = @s + EventType + ','-- Dynamically build the list ofeventsfrom(select distinct top 100 percent [event] as EventTypefrom dbo.PackageStepwhere (@ExecutionGUID is null or PackageStep.packagerunid =@ExecutionGUID)order by 1) as xset @i = len(@s)select case @iwhen 500 then left(@s, @i - 3) + '...'-- If string is too long thenterminate with '...'else left(@s, @i - 1) -- else just remove the final commaend as 'Context'set nocount offend --procedureGOWhen I run this and pass in a value of NULL, things work fine. When Ipass in an actual value (i.e. 15198), I get the following message:Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.There is no SUBSTRING being used anywhere in the query and thedatatypes look okay to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!!

Hi,
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************
I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Anyone had similar error and sorted it?
Cheers

Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
€œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori

An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error:
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Here's the code in question:
orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)
...
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader)
If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?

is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001
WHERE KeyName = @KeyName
END
KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?

Hello,
I've got the following query:
SELECT zA."ID" AS fA_A
, zA."TEXT" AS fA_B
, (
SELECT COUNT(zC."ID")
FROM Test."Booking" AS zC
) AS fA_E
FROM Test."Stack" AS zA
WHERE zA."ID" = ?
With this query I call:
- SQLPrepare -> SQL_SUCCESS=0
- SQLNumParams -> SQL_SUCCESS=0, pcpar = 1
- SQLDescribeParam( 1 ) -> SQL_ERROR=-1, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number", "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index"
Is there a problem with this calling sequence or this query? Or is this a problem of SQL Server?
Regards
Markus
