I certainly do have that. Please hold.... Pasting.... type something like this in SQL command line: CREATE PROCEDURE update_Body(p_ID IN NUMBER, b1 IN VARCHAR2) BEGIN UPDATE TABLENAME SET BODY = b1 WHERE TABLENAME.ID = p_ID; END; In cfm page: <cfstoredproc procedure="update_Body" datasource="datasourcename" debug="Yes"> <cfprocparam type="in" value="#ID#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER"> <cfprocparam type="in" value="#Body#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR"> </cfstoredproc> This sets up a variable that can contain mucho text and dumps the text in the variable. Then it puts the variable in the SQL statement. Then it's not a 4k LITERAL text string.
