I have a dataset extracted from a SQL table which contains nvarchar(max) fields. My DBMAX_TEXT is set to 32000 and bulkload for the libname is set to YES.

 

When I writeback to another SQL table, I get the error "Invalid field size for datatype".

 

I actually saw an old post asking a similar question but seems left unanswered.

Appreciate any resolution into this issue.

 

Thanks!

Do you get no error if DBMAX_TEXT=8000 but you get an error with 8001, as implied in the other post?
