Here I'd more likely think it was a null value.

I'm trying to learn me some more SQL, so I'm working on a fairly involved SQL statement where I'm trying to emulate an RPG that builds a work file to print a report.

So far I have 7 CTEs, and I'll eventually have a couple of UDFs and/or Stored Procedures.

But what I have right now, I'm getting all plus signs in one of the columns. And it's not on every row, just some of them.

What does it mean when a column shows '++++++'?

In my experience, it usually means that the value, as displayed, is too big, as currently formatted, to fit in the column.
