amplodbc.c, ampltabl.dll, TABLES.RME:  extend the "standard" ODBC
table handler to recognize new optional string maxlen=nnn (just before
the optional 'verbose') among the Strings to specify the maximum
length of strings (symbolic parameters) read from the table.  The
default is 480, which will probably suffice for most purposes.
Strings longer than maxlen will be truncated to maxlen characters when
the table is read.

amplodbc.c, ampltabl.dll:  have "write table" preserve old columns
of an INOUT table even when the table is initially empty, and for
columns of type text, retain the text type even when the column
ends up having exlusively numeric values.
