Detlef, 

The UG syntax is wrong; the correct syntax is "set TEXTSIZE 8000".  It would
be part of your SQL query.  The statement affects all queries for the spid.


If you use freetds.conf (instead of interfaces), you can place the line:

        text size = 8000 # or whatever

in either [global] or any dataserver section.  That of course will affect
all queries, unless overridden by "set textsize".  

Thank you for your question, by the way.  It wasn't clear that it wasn't
clear, if you see what I mean.  I'm working on the UG quite a bit these
days, and I can see I'm not done.  

HTH.
