Based on the paucity of data in your problem description I would be inclined to trust the machine and ask what makes you think there should be more than 'char(255)' worth of characters to retrieve? i.e., do you know the db.table.field in question is a column type meant to hold the data you expect? You seem to be indicating a consistent return of 255 when you ask for 400 - seems to be a clue about the field specification. More data::better answers.
