I didn't pull that number out of thin air.  I counted the errors.
The proc was looping over accounting line items and concatenating their
invoice codes together for display.  Usually there are no more than 5
items to iterate over.  Due to some poorly configured pricing setup on a
test order, there were 439 items being looped over.  The field holding
the concatenation was a varchar(255).  The average item code was 8
characters long, meaning it would have began erroring after the 32nd
item leaving exactly 407 items which would have errored with "string or
binary data would be truncated".  So I think 400 is a pretty darn good
guess.

When I ran the proc in query analyzer I confirmed that was about the
number of errors being returned.

You're saying this as if you didn't just pull the number 400 out of thin
air.
