I am trying to use the READTEXT command to some text from a table however I
am failing at the first hurdle. The following SQL is required

DECLARE @ptrval VARBINARY(16)
SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(P_LONGTEXT) FROM P_SIMPLE WHERE P__URN = 1
...

When I execute this in isql or in code (I am using unixODBC) the second line
reports that the variable @ptrval isn¹t defined. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Ian
