    , req.total_elapsed_time - req.cpu_time AS wait_time
    , req.logical_reads
    , SUBSTRING (REPLACE (REPLACE (SUBSTRING (ST.text, (req.statement_start_offset/2) + 1,
       ((CASE statement_end_offset
           WHEN -1
           THEN DATALENGTH(ST.text)  
           ELSE req.statement_end_offset
         END - req.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) , CHAR(10), ' '), CHAR(13), ' '),
