BUG# NT: 13577 (6.00)
SYMPTOMS
SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) and ISQL/w can create objects such as views,
rules, defaults, stored procedures, or triggers whose object code is
nonsensical in syscomments if long comments (defined by /* */ or --) exist
with the object creation script. Recreating the object with this code would
cause a syntax error. This behavior can be viewed by using the
corresponding edit object feature in SEM or running sp_helptext on the
object from any client application. This behavior was seen with a comment
of 966 to 1010 bytes in size and depends on the length of the object name.
WORKAROUND
Shorten or break up the comment or recreate the object with ISQL.EXE.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
