SSIS - Data Conversion Failed - The Value Could Not Be Converted Because Of A Potential Loss Of Data.
Aug 3, 2006Hello
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Error: 0xC0202092 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: An error occurred while processing file "C:WorkDaten_NC_1.txt" on data row 177.
Edit: Modified the Title so it properly reflects the Problem & the Solution
SSIS Data Conversion From Numeric To Decimal
Oct 2, 2007I'm getting some data from a flat file with a SSIS Package, it comes a integer but I would like to converted to a decimal with a 3 scale.
Example:
Flat File: 2070015000950011800
In the data conversion I had it with a 3 scale, but what I got was this:20700.00015000.0009500.00011800.000But what I want is something like this:20.70015.0009.50011.800
I dont know if you guys get the idea. But I will apreciate if anyone can help me.
Thanks,

Data Conversion Inserting To DB2 On AS400 With SSIS
Apr 30, 2007I created a SSIS package moving data from a SQL 2005 table to an existing DB2 table on AS400 using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2.
When the package was run, it showed that rows were successfully inserted to DB2. However, the data didn't seem to be converted correctly. Most of the string values were inserted as unusual characters. Also any string values of digits were not inserted.
For example, 1.) a character field (char(1) or nchar(1) as I have tried both types) in SQL 2005 table with a simple value of 'H' was inserted into the DB2 table field of type "A" (alphanumeric) of length 1 as 'ç' and others letters were inserted as other unusual characters. 2.) A string value of '00100' in SQL Server is not inserted to DB2 table at all.
Later we found that the fields inserted with usual characters are difined as CSSID =65535. A few fields with correct data inserted have CSSID=00037.
Does anyone know why this happened and how to solve this to get the data inserted correctly in the DB2 table?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Integration Services :: Data Conversion In SSIS?
Nov 17, 2015I am using flat file as source.I have quantity column in flat file which is a  Numeric datatype and target table quantity datatype is Numeric.
I am able to load data from source to target but when I am comparing data from source to target I am not getting exact record from source flat files Source having data like
Source     >>  Target
31.61 Â Â Â Â Â >> Â 31.0000000000
00029.430 >> Â Â 29.0000000000
as we can see that data are not matching with source I can not change the target table quantity data type, is there any thing which I can do with source column data type.
CAST In SELECT Or Data Conversion In SSIS
Oct 18, 2007Current situation:
Our data source is Oracle and there is a particular column, called number_of_units, with datatype numeric(28, 0) that we will extract into SQL Server data destination.
However, in our SQL Server data destination this column has a datatype numeric(34, 14). This is because we used this column to do some basic calculation (e.g. number_of_units/60) and we need to keep the decimals in tact.
In our current SSIS, we do a select query with CAST from the data source:
SELECT CAST(number_of_units AS NUMERIC(34, 14)) AS number_of_units FROM TABLE_A;
Will casting up from numeric(28,0) to (34,14) cause bigger number of bytes to be transferred across from the data source? I am talking about millions of records over here.
Are there other better ways of doing it?
1) Don't do a CAST in the select query (i.e. SELECT number_of_units FROM TABLE_A).
2) Add a derived/calculated column with numeric(34,14) in SSIS to fill in the calculation.
3) Lastly, load the calculation into SQL Server data destination.
SSIS:Data Conversion Failed On Flat File Destination
Dec 15, 2006[Flat File Destination [46500]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page." What does this error mean exactly?
I am taking columns from a flat file source. Then I am adding some new columns then rewriting the file to a ragged file format with fixed column values. I've taken the Destination component off and it works fine. So I know it could be the destination component but what could it be? Any ideas?
Integration Services :: SSIS Data Conversion From STRING TO DATE
Nov 30, 2015I am trying to upload data from CSV to Sql table. I have a column as 'arrived_date' value '13:45' etc and while trying to load data i am getting error as "data conversion failed ,truncation may occur while loading data". In flat file connection this column datatype is string but in my table datatype is as time(). There is a error with conversion. I tried to change data type in advanced editor but no use. Using data conversion after flatfile makes my error disappear but it is giving error right at the file not even going through from file?

Hi, I am less of a technical but more of a analyst professional and right now investgating on various tools / options for the new conversion project I will be leading in insurance client. One of the tools that client want to use is SSIS but the source and target database is not on SQL server but plans are to build a staging SQL server database for transformation. Does SSID supports this kind of ETL process where both source and target system are non SQL servers.

SSIS Flat File Loading - Data Type Conversion
Apr 24, 2007It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:
1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.
2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.
Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?

Data Conversion Failed. The Data Conversion For Column Value Returned Status Value 4 And Status Text Text Was Truncated Or On
Jan 7, 2008Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

EBCDIC To ASCII Conversion In SSIS
Sep 6, 2007I 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 ?

Conversion From String To Date In SSIS
Apr 1, 2008
I have been trying to read a flat file which has a birthdate field. The field is string and the format is "011594". I have been trying to convert it to a date field in the following format "01/15/1994". Using the forum I was able to write the following expression but I am still keep getting error messages.
I also noticed few records are missing birthdate and few do not have the complete birthdate which means some birthdates are missing year and some are missing month. For example, some are completely missing and some are partially missing, like " " or "0312 ". Could this be the reason I was getting error message since the following expression does not include null and incomplete date of birth?
(DT_DBDATE)(SUBSTRING([DateofBirth] ,1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([DateofBirth] ,3,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([DateofBirth] ,5,2))
Here are the error messages:

SSIS Julian To Gregorian Date Conversion?

SQL 2012 :: SSIS Conversion Between Types Is Not Supported
Nov 18, 2014As part of an ETL conversion I have dataflow task created that copies data from one table to another, we use it as a way to rename fields and change data types. What is strange is that the OLE DB SQL destination has not issue if I copy data from an int to smallint and in another case from an int to a numeric field and it runs fine. So I decided to test using a SQL Server Destination as I heard it may be faste that using OLE Db.
No I am getting the following error
Error: 0xC02020F5 at Insert into TRANSACTION, SQL Server Destination [32]: The column "ID" can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I4 and DT_NUMERIC is not supported.
Error: 0xC02020F5 at Insert into TRANSACTION, SQL Server Destination [32]: The column "ID1" can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I4 and DT_I2 is not supported.
I do understand the error but not why it runs fine using the OLE DB but when running it through SQL Server Destination I get this error.

View 1 Replies View RelatedData Conversion From String To Decimal When Saving Data To SQL Server 2005 Using An ADO Recordset
Feb 12, 2008Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker

IsNumeric Does Not Work On Data From Data Conversion Task
Jan 3, 2008Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks
SQL 2012 :: Ignored Column In SSIS Package Throws Conversion Errors?
Dec 12, 2013 I have a data flow task in which I have a ADO NET source and OLE DB Destination. I have in the ADO NET source a sql command which pulls all the columns in a table. My requirement is to ignore a particular column,say column99. I opened advanced editor and deleted the mapping between the external and output columns for column99. I had also set the Error and Truncation to "Ignore Failure" for column99. I had also mapped the destination column to <Ignore> in OLD DB destination.
But this still throws the error-
Description: The ADO NET Source was unable to process the data. Field table-column99 missing an escape character for a quote.Unable to update PK WHERE clause.Error processing data batch.
How do I solve this?
Decimal Datatype Conversion From DB2 To SSIS Throught Microsoft OLE DB Provider For DB2
May 1, 2007Hi All,
Here is a description of the issue I'm facing about decimal datatype conversion from DB2 to SSIS throught Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2.
I first discovered it when I tried to use a LookUp trans. and selected a decimal typed field. I was unable to validate it and clicking the OK button threw the error copied below:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "MFIXFRA" (317)" has a value set for length, precision, scale, or code page that is a value other than zero, but the data type requires the value to be zero.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204019 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
Some workarounds on this issue led me to two other strange behaviours:
- If I create a dataflow task to perform a raw copy of a DB2 table to a brand new table in SQLServer destination (by clicking "new" instead of choosing an existing destination table), generated "create table" script for decimal fields is quite different from source table. For example, a source field declared Dec(15,2) is translated as Dec(29,5), and so on.
- Quite same behaviour if I try to derive a column using as derived column trans. If the source column is a decimal, it's scale and precision are interpreted ramdomly.
Any idea welcome

SSIS Too Strict On Conversion With No Option To Overwrite, Forcing Me To Use DTS 2000 Packages
Nov 1, 2007This is more of a philosophical post, but feedbacks are welcome!
I am working at migrating SQL 2000 DTS packages that pulls data from MAS90 via ODBC connections.
At first, I REALLY tried to learn SSIS and I hated it at first, with all the new things one has to do to get a simple import to work. After a while, I begin to appreciate some of the new design and the more tiered approach. Indeed, I tried to use SSIS to import the tables and even learned how to overcome the Unicode/non-Unicode conversion errors by using the Import Wizard to do the grunt work.
But today I came across a show stopper: My imports are failing because the source lied about its metadata type and I am getting a "Value too large for output column" error. I tried to recreate the Task to no avail. I searched on the web and there are very few posts regarding to this and unfortunately I don't have a way to tweak my ODBC connection properties for MAS90 to some how "fool" SSIS. I finally give up and migrate the DTS 2000 package instead.
I am not too happy about this solution because I know that more likely or not Microsoft will discontinue support for such legacy approach and then it is more work down the road. I REALLY wanted to do it right, to rebuild it natively in SSIS but why does SSIS have to make things so hard by enforcing the type checks so tightly? Is it so bad to allow users who know the data better to by pass the validations? We are not working in a perfect Comp Sci 101 world where every thing is scrubbed clean, we work in a world of bad, old, malformed data.
If there is a way for me to overcome that "value too large" error, I am all ears.
Thank you for reading.
