Converting Comp To ASCII IN SQL
May 30, 2006
Hi
I am importing data from mainframe using DTS the problem is that I am getting some COMP fields from the mainframe these are compressed data fields that are used to reduce storage space on the main frame. Can some one please help me understand how we can use DTS to solve this problem that is decompress it before transferring to table in SQL server.
any code in scripting language to help decompress this datatype will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Someone suggested converting all the varchar and char to nvarchar and nchar .. but i have a lot of data on the system and this might take a lot of time..
Any ideas would be appreciated !!!!"

Hello,
I'm trying to load en EBCDIC file with packed decimal in comp 3 into a SQL table.
I have been searching information in this forum in several threads and have downloaded a DLL from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0e4bba52-cc52-4d89-8590-cda297ff7fbd&displaylang=en
and so far I've been able to get the "UnpackDecimal Data Flow Transformation" to work ... sort of.
The problem is that in the destination table the decimals appear allways as NULL.
The destination decimal column type in the table is set as VARCHAR (I've tryed to set Integer with no success).
Any help on this will be apreciated. If you need more information please ask.
Thanks.

Hi
Is it possible to use Database Mirroring when running a SQL Server 2005 database in compatibility mode 80 (SQL Server 2000)?
If upgrading to SQL Server 2005 we would have to run Principal, Mirror and Witness in mode 80 to support our Transact-SQL Queries. To upgrade our Queries would be equally (or more) costly then to buy new SAN hardware for a cluster in wich case we might well continue running our 2000 cluster. (Buying hardware is slightly more time efficent then rewriting some 1500 queries)
Please advise, thank you

I've got one SQL Server 7.0 table with a "Decsciption" Column of length 4000. The values in this column contains "End of Line" ASCII Character. The ASCII Value of this character is 10. I'm not able to remove this ASCII Character. I tried by using REPLACE function. But i could not remove that character.
Any thoughts are welcome,
Regards,

Hello one and all,
I’m new to T-sql and need help understanding the CHAR() and ASCII functions.
I tried to run these commands to better understand them but I get the same results each time.
Here is the query with the char command
USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + CHAR(13) + Address,
+ CHAR(13) + City, + Region
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = 1
Nancy Davolio
507 - 20th Ave. E.
Apt. 2A
Seattle WA
(1 row(s) affected)
Here is the same command without the char function.
USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + address, + city, + region
from employees
where employeeID = 1
address city region
------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- ---------------
Nancy Davolio 507 - 20th Ave. E.
Apt. 2A Seattle WA
(1 row(s) affected)
As you can see I get the same results back except for the column names being displayed.
Please help me understand this.
Thank you,
Eric Talley

I have an file I FTP onto the server using a FTP task in my DTS package. The problem I'm having is the FTP task downloads using binary format, whereas I need it to download using ascii format. Binary is causing characters in the file to change, and my import is failing.
Any idea on how to set it to download as ascii?

Hi All,
I need to generate Ascii 7 bit flat file, based on data in db, using integration services, FTP task. Currently i am generating file with ansi-latin and then using the script task converting it to the ascii 7. File looks to be generated properly. But when the target system reads this, they complain that the file has junk charecters some thing like this. when i open it after generating the file it looks fine to me in DOS also. I dont know what is the target system and what OS is used by them. what cud be the issue for these junk charecters and is it possible that a Ascii 7 file generated by windows doesnt work in other OS? If the method i am doing to generate the ascii 7 is not currect then what is the best method for this?
ÿþH^@D^@R^@|^@1^@E^@N^@I^@N^@A^@|^@O^@|^@2^@0^@0^@6^@-^@0^@9^@-^@1^@3^@
PS: earlier i had generated a flat file using data export from Excel & that worked in the target system well. is there any difference in the file encoding generated by excel and integration services?
Please help me!!!!

I am working on a project that will be mimicking an existing interface that we have with one our our clients. That interface today sends EBCDIC packed fields. We do not want to introduce changes to the external clients interface file when we rebuild it in SQL 2005 Integration Services and I need to find out how I can take ASCII data and convert it to the host (mainframe) representation, which is what we currently provide to our external client using Integration Services.
Has anyone had to do this? If so, can I accomplish it natively with SSIS, or do I need to look to a third party vendor for a component?
Thanks,
John

I have a problem with alot of my SPs. All compile correctly but cause erroneous data due to IF statements begin ignored due to
characters (see below).
Example SP...
-- Opened within last 12 Months
IF @NEWACCIND = 1
BEGIN
EXECUTE usp_DFDX03_D0150_A4 @COSTALL OUTPUT
END
-- Accounts in Arrears in Current Quarter
Should look like ...
-- Opened within last 12 Months
IF @NEWACCIND = 1
BEGIN
EXECUTE usp_DFDX03_D0150_A4 @COSTALL OUTPUT
END
-- Accounts in Arrears in Current Quarter
I need to find all SPs with double
instance and manually replace. There are hundreds of SPs in total. I have tried
SELECTCOLID, ID
FROMSYSCOMMENTS
WHERECHARINDEX (CONVERT (VARCHAR(3), CHAR(13)+CHAR(13)), TEXT) > 0
but this also returns SPs containing 2 consecutive blank lines as well (which there are alot of due to formatting of T-SQL).
Really I need to distuinguish between
and new line which both appear to be CHAR(13)
Any one got any ideas
Thanks in advance

Thought I would share this since it caused me so much grief.
In some mainframe systems, some dates are stored as the string "00000000". In my SSIS package, I was trying to anticipate for this string, as well as any other combination of zeros (e.g., "000", "0000", etc), since I had already seen lots of dirty data in the flat file (like non-printing characters, etc).
So, what I tried to do was perform an integer conversion on the string and test if it was the equivalent of the numerical value zero:
Code Snippet
(DT_STR)[ColumnName] == 0 ? ....
Now, for some reason, that doesn't work, even though a similar operation in SQL does work:
Code Snippet
SELECT TOP 1 ISNUMERIC('00000000') FROM tableName
In the end, I had to resort to testing for a match on the literal string "00000000" and hope that no other dates came in as "000" or other variation. Fortunately, this has been true so far.
However, the moral of the story is, converting a series of zeros into a numeric zero, and testing against that, does not seem to work. I don't have a good explanation for why that is, but I would guess it has something to do with the limitation of the conversion function.
Happy integrating.

I tried it this way but it gives error like "connection property is not initialised" it is on executenonquery row in the code...
Dim cmd = New SqlCommand("BULK INSERT RFID.dbo.stock(material_number,total) FROM 'C:can1.txt' " & _

connection.Open()
cmd.executenonquery()

I tried to setup a flat file data source that has code page 37 (EBCDIC)
Then I have a flat file destionation that is ASCII.
And inbetween I have tried several different data flow conversion tasks liked Data Conversion, and Derived Column. But I keep getting errors about different code pages.
I also tried to load the EBCDIC data into a SQL Server DB, and it complains about different code page.
Has anyone been able to do this with SSIS out of the box, without any extra components ?

I've an issue with double-quotes in CSV file. One of the columns may contain this kind of value: "STATUS ""H"" "
I've got quote set to "
The file source fails on such records.
I found this thread and Scott tells us there that the file can't contain " in data.
Is this 100% correct?
I've got mutliple text columns and the pain is that I don't know which column might have these cases in future. To create a script means to write my own file parser for all files I use.
Any ideas?
Dima.

Hi,
I'm working on a database conversion from Sybase to SQL Server 2005 and have hit a wall with a character conversion problem when reading non-ASCII characters (encrypted password string) via JDBC.
My application runs on Solaris and accesses a SQL Server 2005 database via the Microsoft JDBC driver. The server was unfortunately specified as having a SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation at installation time, and the database being accessed has taken this default. After creation the data was migrated across via DTS.
The invalid character is a dagger '†'. When read over JDBC it is converted to a question mark '?'.
In my original environment a Sybase database was accessed via JDBC driver from Solaris and the correct value was returned. The Sybase database used Latin1_General_BIN as it's collation. By way of experimentation I have modified the default collation sequence within the SQL Server 2005 database, and created a new table to hold the password. I am then able to correctly return strings containing this character from within SQL Server Management Studio, but the same problem still exists when accessing it via JDBC.
I am not sure where to focus my investigation and would be grateful for any useful pointers/advice. To me it looks like it's a JDBC driver issue as with the change in collation it works from a non-JDBC client.
Many thanks
Alistair

Our database defines the long_value column as nvarchar(max). I want to find out which rows actually contain non-ASCII characters in that column, but this clause also returns rows with only ASCII characters:where long_value like (N'%[' + nchar(128) + N'-' + nchar(65535) + N']%')
What am I doing wrong?

hey all.
im new to the ASP/SQL scene, so please bare with me.
i have to send an email (with two attachments) through sql server.
the mail arrives, but the attachments are not attachments... they are ascii text in the body. im using an existing stored proc, which apparently works. so there is no reason this shouldn't work.
The file exists, the path is correct. Its obviously seeing and reading the file (otherwise there would be no data to print as ascii)
thanks all.
Also, if you know of a better place where i can post this thread, please let me know

I checked the forum and couldn't find the answer,sorry if someone already answered my question and I missed it.

hi
we get ASCII data inserted into a SQL Server database by ODBC connection from an old UNIX system.
Example: INSERT INTO test.db VALUES ('123abc', '456ПРО')
All characters > 128 are converted to "?" automatically.
We tried to setup the database to the appropriate codepage, but we allways get "?" inserted.
