Salesforce Developers Marketing-Cloud-Developer Question # 37 Topic 4 Discussion

To store only the first 4000 characters of the fields SMTPBounceReason and SMTPCode in a data extension, the developer should use the LEFT (C) SQL function. This function returns the specified number of characters from the beginning of a string.

Example:

SELECT SubscriberKey, LEFT(SMTPBounceReason, 4000) AS SMTPBounceReason, LEFT(SMTPCode, 4000) AS SMTPCode FROM _Bounce
