Stored procedure returning 1 less character

[aemmi]

Hi

I'm migrating from PB7 to PB10.2 and I have a stored procedure, Oracle 8i, to return the password from the database. No matter what ID I use, the password is alwasy returned with 1 less character than it should. If the password was 'passwd' it would return 'passw'. This happens for an output variable in a stored procedure or a return value in a function, also doesn't matter if I query the db or just return a char. I must need to set a value in the db parm but don't know what it is.

Thanks
Aemmi
