Try...

INSERT INTO
APPM8_WLCSponsors
(ClientID, SponsorText)
VALUES
(@LocationID, 'To stop alerts, text No to +' + CAST(@SMSCancel AS
VARCHAR(999)) + '.')

Make the cast to varchar big enough to handle the longest big int.

Morning All,

Simple one for you to start the morning.

I have a stored procedure where I am passing a var called @SMSCancel bigint

I need to pass this along with some other text into a nvarchar field, at the
moment I have the following in my SP:

-- insert the sponsor message
INSERT INTO
APPM8_WLCSponsors
(ClientID, SponsorText)
VALUES
(@LocationID, 'To stop alerts, text No to +' + @SMSCancel + '.')

But the insert is failing and causing the SP to stop processing. SponsorText
is big enough to handle the string being created, any ideas?

Have also tried the following but with no luck:

DECLARE @SponsorString nvarchar(100)
SET @SponsorString = (SELECT 'To stop alerts, text No to +' + @SMSCancel +
'.')

-- insert the sponsor message
INSERT INTO
APPM8_WLCSponsors
(ClientID, SponsorText)
VALUES
(@LocationID, @SponsorString)

Dare say it is something silly but I cannot see it having trawled through
the help files on SQL Sever

Thanks & Regards

Lee Fortnam
