Hi all, I may again being doing something wrong but I've noticed an odd problem. I've connected up using the freetds libraries to an MSSQL server. iSQL works fine and I can do a query thus : Select NetworkCardID from Audit_NetworkCard where macaddress='00:14:22:53:de:58' +--------------+ | NetworkCardID| +--------------+ | 96375 | So, the query comes back with 96375, which is the correct query response. However the same query in FR, using the following unlang : update control { SQLNetworkCardID := "%{sql_test_mssql:Select NetworkCardID from Audit_NetworkCard where macaddress='%{control:DelimitedMac}'}" } Returns 9637 I'm using an external program "MacToDelimitedMac" to delimit the mac address, but it's coming back with the correct value so I don't think this is the problem : Output : [MacToDelimitedMac] expand: %{User-Name} -> 00142253de58 Exec output: DelimitedMac := "00:14:22:53:de:58" [MacToDelimitedMac] Exec output: DelimitedMac := "00:14:22:53:de:58" [MacToDelimitedMac] Exec: program returned: 0 ++[MacToDelimitedMac] returns ok ++? if (control:DelimitedMac) ? Evaluating (control:DelimitedMac) -> TRUE ++? if (control:DelimitedMac) -> TRUE ++- entering if (control:DelimitedMac) {...} sql_xlat expand: %{User-Name} -> 00142253de58 sql_set_user escaped user --> '00142253de58' expand: Select NetworkCardID from Audit_NetworkCard where macaddress='%{control:DelimitedMac}' -> Select NetworkCardID from Audit_NetworkCard where macaddress='00:14:22:53:de:58' rlm_sql (sql_test_mssql): Reserving sql socket id: 4 sql_xlat finished rlm_sql (sql_test_mssql): Released sql socket id: 4 expand: %{sql_test_mssql:Select NetworkCardID from Audit_NetworkCard where macaddress='%{control:DelimitedMac}'} -> 9637 +++[control] returns ok Anyone any ideas why it's returning a truncated value? I've tried a few SQL queries to return values and it's truncating any integer values (doesn't seem to happen where sql fields are not integer) over 4 digits. Any return value of less than digits returns properly! I guess it's me but I'm stumped. Thanks Andy
