How to increase GROUP_CONCAT function length in MySQL

http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread.php?135082-how-to-add-maximum-length-for-GROUP_CONCAT-in-pentaho-report-designer&p=330725#post330725

GROUP_CONCAT() in a MySQL query to convert multiple rows into a single string. However, the maximum length of the result of this function is 1024 characters.

 I'm very well aware that I can change the param group_concat_max_len to increase this limit:

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

Above is set for SESSION

SET GLOBAL group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

above is set for GLOBAL
