Alternatives in order to avoid issues Enric

sql server programming: Dear fellows,

I've got a stored procedure which receives from ASP page a dynamic range of
values (array). In the sp we've put a 'plain varchar' without say to Sql
Server how long it is.

Does anyone know how could we do this easier?

Thanks in advance and regards,

From BOL:
"When n is not specified in a data definition or variable declaration
statement, the default length is 1"

If you do not specify, you get a VARCHAR(1). I'd say you would have
problems.
