So i have an error found in my procedure where my query string part of the OPENQUERY is exceeding the maximum defined limits of 8000 characters. What can I do?
The error
The character string that starts with 'select distinct UPPER (case when cast(i.attendantaddress as varchar(30)) is null then i.specialnotes else cast(i.attendantaddress' is too long. Maximum length is 8000.--
The stored procedure

Declare #strSQL varchar(max)
set #strSQL = N'<your query here>'
exec #strSQL at <YourLinkedServerName>
This bypasses any limitation of the 8000 character limit.
May be something like below:
