Please post some sample data and the expected output. It's very difficult to tell what you want from your description.

I/P

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

Divide by 3;

i need it as

O/P

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' -1

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' -2

String len =71(27+54);

I know one string len can not exceed 27

say the string is now 27*4 =108

I/P

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

Divide by 2;

O/P

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' -2

Divide by 3;

O/P

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' -1

'0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' -3

I modified this from somethign i saved in my snippets that is associated to the same issue: split a string on a specific number of character lengths.

if you search for "wordwrap" here on SSC there are a number of other solutions for the same issue.



declare @SplitLength INT =27
