Concatenation getting truncated

Hello,

Using SQL SERVER 2000

I have 4 columns with varchar(80) each that I want to concatenate.
When I look at the result, it only gives me 256 characters. What am I
missing on my code?

Select Cust_Number, Info = convert(varchar(1000),rtrim(line1) +
char(13)+rtrim(Line2) + char(13)+ rtrim(line3) + char(13)+
rtrim(line4))
>From tableOne
Go

Thank you for your input.

Probably nothing. If you are using Query Analyzer, look under
Tools->Options->Results->Maximum Characters per Column.

Hi Edgar,

Query Analyzer is displaying only part of the results.

Click "Tools" / "Options" and activate the "Results" tab. Increase the
"Maximum characters per column" to at least 320. Now rerun the query.

Now I can see all the data on my concatenated column.
