Question

I have a string ‘sSQL’ that contains a very long tsql statement. I need to check what its value is while debugging. I usually just use ?sSQL in the immediate window but this is truncating the first half and only giving me the end half.

So is there an alternative way to see the full value using the vb6 sp5 dev environment?

Answer 1

If it’s that long, save it to a text file. Have a debug method:

sub SaveStringToDebugFile(s as string)
  ...
end sub

and then call it from the immediate window:

SaveStringToDebugFile sSQL
