# 3113 CAST Function Not Truncating VARCHAR Columns Properly

Using the following SELECT expression, I would expect 1000A1000 as the result, but in fact I get 1000023A1.

CAST(1000023 AS VARCHAR(4)) +'A'+  CAST(1000023 AS VARCHAR(4))



Comments Comments
The problem was that CAST() was not respecting the length specified for VARCHAR/CHAR columns, and truncating the column as necessary.
