Integration Services :: Getting Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Error In Designer
Jul 2, 2015
I have OLE DB source which executes SP with 2 parameters and output is flat file. Every time I run I immediately get output below. How do I troubleshoot further what might be causing this?
Information: 0x402090DC at Data Flow Task, Flat File Destination [2]: The processing of file "C:UsersadminDesktopout.csv" has started.
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source [41]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.

In my SSIS Package I am loading data from Oracle source to SQL Destination. But while loading I am getting below error.
[OLE_DST_FORECASTSTANDARD [72]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. Â An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Â Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0" Â Hresult: 0x80004005 Â Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
[OLE_DST_FORECASTSTANDARD [72]] Error: There was an error with OLE_DST_FORECASTSTANDARD.Inputs[OLE DB Destination Input].Columns[UNITS_NEW] on OLE_DST_FORECASTSTANDARD.Inputs[OLE DB Destination Input].
The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
I have attached the table definition of both source as well as destination.
Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:
"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE" "108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";"" "109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";"" "FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""
...
Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?
I'm getteing an error saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification" when i try to debug a store procedure. The Store Procedure parameters are as below. PROCEDURE clCreateUnpostedTrxEarnType ( @SERIES int, @PERIODID int, @YEAR int, @PTRATIO float, @CPTYPE int, @CPTRXTYPE int, @Startdate datetime, @Enddate datetime, @O_iErrorState int = NULL output )
I am using the backend SQLServer with Powerbuilder, I write a stored procedure and tried to create a datawindow to use that procedure but failed, it returns error code 22005 -Invalid Character value for cast specification. I tried to change any setting in ODBC but still failed.
accessing through ODBC a frond end application which is running on MS SQL Server 2005, works just fine with a specific setup as concerned as the decimal/thousands separators ("," for thousands and "." for decimals). If i switch these settings alternatively ("." for thousands and "," for decimals), i get this error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification.
I tried to search forum and internet but no luck. Thanks in advance
hello, i have a problem with SQL Server Agent. Sometimes, when a scheduled job runs i get this error:
Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.50 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

End Error Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.52 Code: 0xC0209029 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124]
the code i use looks like this
DECLARE @Report_date datetime SET @Report_date = dateadd(dd,-1,convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121))
select CollectDate = @Report_date
the destination column is datetime. Is this a known issue / bug? Because this doesn't happen everytime, and when it does happen all i have to do ia run the job again.
I have a Data Flow task that is simply copying data from table A to table B. (there is a derived column in between however)
All the columns in table A are varchar(255). The columns in table B vary: floats, decimals, etc
However, I am getting a bazillion errors when I run this, each of them to the effect that:
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

I don't understand why this is happening... I've succesfully run similar scenarios with other packages, ie) moving data from one table to another table even though the tables have different data types.
I have a question regarding the running of a procedure from VC++ in SQL server.
well this is the scenario.
i have a procedure in SQL server and i am running that thru my VC++ code. :eek: i have a recordset class and i create an object of it and then do a obj.Open(). the procedure is fetching 24 records correctly in the query analyser and in my while(!(obj.IsEOF())) loop it gets the first record correctly but the moment it encounters obj.MoveNext(); it bombs and gives me the following error..
"Invalid Character value for cast specification ".
Hi,I used SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. I created a stored procedurehaving input parameters as smallint,tinyint,char,varchar andsmalldatetime. When I executed it by Query Analyzer, it's ok. But whenI executed it by ASP code that used ADODB.command, it showed error:Invalid character value for cast specification .Though SQL Server debugger, it showed:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for castspecificationWhat did I do wrong? How do I fix this problem?TIAKrungPS: One of input parameters was smalldatetime, but I casting it in ASPas date as:Const adDate=7datetxt='2004/6/28'cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("CoopId",adChar,adParamInput, 8, coopid)cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Addr",adVarChar,adParamInput, 100, addr)...cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Cdate",adDate,adParamInput, , datetxt)....cmd.execute
Hi, I'm a new DBA and am a rookie when it comes to working with SQL Server 2005. I have been tasked with transfering an Access database to SQL Server 2005. Now I understand to use the import/export wizard, but am having problems fixing an error I am receiving. Here is the error...
Problem I - Copying to [IS_Shared_ServicesTest].[dbo].[tblResource] (Error) Messages * Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".

Here is the short version of the error. I realize that there is an error with the conversion and the error is in tblResource in column Contract Start Date. It is still transfering the column over, and on spot check they seem fine. Should I be really worried about an error? Or is there something that I can do with the Access or SQL server database to fix this?
Why would I get these errors: " SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".

I read related posts but could not figure out the error?
I'm usung bcp to move data from one table to another. 202 million rows. The source/original table had 32 fields. The new table has 33 fields. I added a PK column to the destination/new table. The new PK column is the first field in the new table, it is set to autoincrement by 1 on each insert. The data file only has 32 fields of data per row.
The error is :SQLState = 22018, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification
10 times, then bcp shuts off (default errors is 10).

a customer is getting on mS SQL 2000ERROR ODBC 28000 Invalid authorization specificationI dont understand because all the rigth are OKASP NET USER, IISS user and so on !i am trying to connect the to SQL from ASPX pages (it works for me and a few customers but not that one)what can be the problem ?thank you
I'm trying to build a SS 2005 db from a Sqlbase database and I have coded a program to bring over the data and insert. The problem I'm having is that on some of the tables, I'm getting an "Invalid character value for cast specification" error on an insert. I've found the offending row and discovered that it's an integer that is null in the source table.
The weirdness is, that in SqlServer, it is defined as an "int" column that can be null. I can insert the row through both Management console (connected natively) and through a sql utility from Sqlbase/Gupta (called sqltalk) connected thru ODBC. The problem is when I try the insert through OLEDB within the application, that's when I get the error. I changed the value from null to zero in the source table then it works. I think there must be a "set **** on" on the connection that I'm missing if I can enter the SAME data using Management console but I'm not sure what that is. I don't want to have to find ALL occurences of null integers in my entire database just to insert it into SqlServer.

Hello, I am running out of ideas on how to get SSRS to work. I am trying get this setup with the intention to replace our Crystal Reports server. Currently I have set up the RS Virtual Directory on a Win XP box. The ReportServer database sits on another SQL2000 box.
I can connect to the http://localhost/ReportServer/ on the XP box to display the page the depicts "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.2047.00"
When I connect to the http://localhost/Reports/, I get this error "A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://leej/Reports/'. Line 1, Position 2" I checked my IIS Virtual Directory properties for Reports and ASP.NET is set to v2.0.50727. I also executed "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" in the "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727" directory.
Any thought on how to fix this? I hate to let this blocker deters us from deploying SSRS.

I have a web application (ISAPI) that accesses a SQL Server 2000 (sp3) database in the same machine as the Web Server (IIS 6). Windows 2003 Standard Edition is the operating System. So, when users access the aplication through the web it runs ok until display the error message "Invalid authorization specification" or, sometimes, another message about failure to inform ODBC DSN, although I dont use ODBC.
When the error occurs, the user press F5 in the browser and the operation goes ok. It's an intermitent and curious error.

What could be wrong? Do I need enable permission for asp.net in sql server? how I can do it?
We are testing our product on Windows Vista with SQL Server 2005 SP2 and are encountering an "invalid authorization specification". We make the connection through a Windows service using a standard ADO connection. I have tried changing the provider in the connection string to SQLNCLI without any success. The application is written in Delphi 5 and has worked on previous versions of Windows running SQL Server 2005.
I want to import date from excel file from the row if this row has a character like 'TableName', and I don't know the rownumber and end column number ,so I can't use openrowset 'select * from Sheet$ A11:N'.  And I am thing if I can get the rownumber of the row contain string 'TableName' and the max column ,that May be easy to extract data.
I am using SSIS 2012 SP1 to import a comma delimited csv file into a SQL table.
One of the fields carries a time value:
Source = textfile, column=DT_STR(8), value format = "hhmmss", e.g. "011525" Destination = field in SQL table, data type = time(0)
To get it from the textfile to the SQL table I am:
1.) Creating a derived column called [d_Time of Entry]with the following formula -
SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],1,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],3,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],5,2)
2.) Performing a data conversion task to convert [d_Time of Entry] from DT_STR(8) to time(0) The upload fails because values that start with a zero, i.e. times before 10am, have their leading 0's stripped before being derived. You can see this because "011525" is derived as "11:52:5" when it should be "01:15:25".
I've been trying to connect to my local SQL Server instance (SQL Server 2005) using the SQLNCLI interface from c++ without success. I consistently receive an 'Invalid authorization specification' error (SQL state 28000 and SQL error number 0) when I call IDBInitialize::Initialize to connect to the database. I was hoping someone here could shed some light on this and help me out.
The strange thing is that I get no error if I leave the user blank (L"" in vValue.bstrVal) and try to connect. Also, IDBProperties::SetProperties returns 0 when the user is blank but 40eda when the user is set. This seems to be a message from the pipeline facility but I haven't found the description of the code (0xeda).
The user in the database is configured with no password and I can successfully connect to the server and open the database using that user through Management Studio.
I've also tried using the SQLOLEDB provider with the same results.
Suspecting that I'm setting the properties wrong I include a code snippet below showing how I'm setting the properties:
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(dbprop) / sizeof(dbprop[0]); i++) VariantInit(&dbprop[ i ].vValue);
// Server name dbprop[0].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE; dbprop[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR; dbprop[0].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"localhost"); dbprop[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED; dbprop[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
We run std 2008 r2. I'm looking at the files this transform is complaining about.  They seem to be named appropriately. The customerid folders don't exist when this runs. I'm going to put one in place to see if that is the problem.
The errors i'm getting are...

[Export Column [22]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Export Column" (22)" failed because error code 0xC020207F occurred,

I have a flat file which have some record data ex.
id name team 1 "A"my" "Bl"ue"s" 2 "Bob" "Reds" 3 "Chuck" "Blues" 4 "Dick" "Blues"
in above example first record contain invalid data so complete flat file will not import due to one invalid row or record in flat file. so is there any way to check invalid row from flat file and ignore it(write log about invalid record) and process importing flat file.
I have a vb 6 program that has been running for several years against a 6.5 db. I convert the db to 2000, and now when I repoint the software to the 2000 db, I get "Invalid Authorization Specification" when I try to open the connection. The connection string is:Dim conn As ADODB.ConnectionSet conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB" & _ ";Data Source=" & sServer & _ ";Initial Catalog=" & sDB & _ ";User Id=" & goProcess.UserID & _ ";Password=" & goProcess.Password & ";"All of the variables are filled out correctly, when I go against a 6.5 it works, Sql Server 2000 doesn't.
I'm trying to connect to a tab-delimited text file using the ODBC data access. I set it up using Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) from the start menu, and clicked the 'Guess' button under Define Format.
It looks OK, but if I go back to Define in Administrative Tools and try to review it, I get a similar error message:
Ini File (or Registry) C:Program FilesCIMSschema.ini is corrupt. Section: cims_output_data.txt, Key: Col1.
Has anyone seen this before? There is nothing on MSDN as far as I could find. I read on another forum that if you replace the label 'Col1' with 'Col' the problem is solved but it still reports that the schema is corrupt when I try to open it in Administrative Tools.
