I remember long ago getting truncation error messages if a column size was increased but the datawindows using that column weren't changed.
We are making a column larger and I am helping QA put together the test plan.
I ran a simple test and it truncated silently. I was hoping it would throw an error. Many datawindows have the column but not as a visible control. The only way to verify the column was changed is to not get the error message.
Our environment: PB 2022 1892, SQL Server 2022, MSOLEDBSQL_19
I'm hoping there is a DBParm that turns that on/off.
