In the

ODBC Data Source

area, next to

Target Table

, select

Browse (...)

to locate the table to which to send messages. The table browser window that opens also displays information about the fields contained in a selected table. Select a table and select

database is not supported.

The default length of the message is 254. Extending the table is permitted when the message length is between 254 and 1999 characters.

(optional) To log long diagnostic messages to the database, select

Use long message text

. The message can be up to 1999 characters.

If the check box is not selected, the message can be no more than 254 characters.
