Problem Importing Data From SQL To A EBCDIC Text File

Feb 21, 2008

Hi, how are you?
I generated a Data Flow Task where a OLE DB Source connects to a SQL Server and gets data from a table. The next step, writes a txt file with the information (Flat File destination).
All data is imported to txt fiel if this one is configured as Code Page: 1252 (ANSI - Latin I) in the connection manager for the flat file. But if I change Code Page: 500 (IBM EBCDIC - International) which is the one I need beacuse I have to imported in a mainframe, it doesn't work.
This is the error that I receive:

Code Snippet
TITLE: Package Validation Error
------------------------------
Package Validation Error
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Error at Data Flow Task [Flat File Destination [31]]: The code page on input column "STATUS_CD" (1293) is 1252 and is required to be 500.
Error at Data Flow Task [Flat File Destination [31]]: The code page on input column "SRC_NUM" (1294) is 1252 and is required to be 500.
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: "component "Flat File Destination" (31)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: One or more component failed validation.
Error at Data Flow Task: There were errors during task validation.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)

Does any one knows how can I convert from ANSI to EBCDIC or what I have to configure so as to not receive that error messsage? Thanks for help and time.

Importing EBCDIC File With COMP3 Fields

Jul 23, 2007

Hi All,

I have a file with several columns in Comp-3.

I have downloaded the UnPack Decimal component and, as it needs byte stream (dt_bytes) as input, so I set up an appropriate Flat File Source columns.

But I get this error:

[Flat File Source [2201]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "DTCDC" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

[Flat File Source [2201]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "DTCDC" (2250)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "DTCDC" (2250)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

DTCDC is first of the columns packed. These are mostly date columns packed into 5 bytes - should be unpacked to normal SQL date.

I've tried different locale , as suggested in other threads, but it didn't help.

Can anybody help me with this issue how can I do it in (VB.NET script ,importing as String??).

Thanks in advance

Integration Services :: Importing Text File Into Table - Random Data Order

Aug 3, 2015

I'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.

Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?

Oct 12, 2007

What do I need to do to import Ebcdic file with comp3 packed data fields from mf into SQL Server? Is this possible? Do I need to go into advanced properties and change the data type? Or do I need to use data conversion task for the packed fields. Any advice or if somebody could point me to a sample script would be greatly appreciated.

Importing Text File To SQL

Sep 15, 2004

HI Guys,

I am doing the following to read the data in a text file and inserting it into SQL.

1) Open db connection
2) Open Text File
3) loop through text file all along inserting each row into the db
4) close the text file
5) close the db connection

However, the text file has over 400 rows/lines of data that need to be inserted into the db. Each line in the text file is a row in the db. At anyrate, the above script times out. Is there a better, faster way to do this? I can't use Bulk Insert due to permissions previlages.

Thanks in Advance!

Importing Text File Into Database

Mar 31, 2007

Hello Everyone,
I would like to import a text file which contains one string (a large integer) per line not separated by commas or anything else except a carriage return. Does anyone know of an easy way to store this in a database file? I'm open to suggestions if there is more than one way to save this kind of information within a database. I have SQL server 2005 developer edition if that helps in any way. I'm also starting to learn about Linq so if there is some other way you would store this information for that purpose I would love to hear about that as well. C# code is preferable, but I can use the automatic translators if that's all you have. By the way, I'm a newbie to this subject (if you couldn't tell). Thanks in advance.

When a DTS fails on a Text Source input with an error like "DTS_Transformation encountered an invalid data value for 'Column1' destination"

Is there a way to get the line number of the textfile where the import failed? It is hard to determine where in my 40,000-line file it found the invalid value for my column.

Thanks,

Issues Importing A Text File (tab Delimited) To A SQL Table

Dec 7, 2005

I have a text file I am trying to import to a table. This text file is in a tab delimited format. I am using DTS to import the data to a new table I made. The fields are varchar and are set to allow nulls & allow 8,000 characters per field.

The error I am getting is that the data exceeds the allowed amount (or something like that) in col4.

Now I have checked everything in column 4 and nothing exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. I have checked the entire sheet (in excel) for that fact, and there is not one single column/row/cell that exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined.

What the heck could be causing SQL to tell me I am trying to import too much data in one column when there is nothing that even comes close to 8,000 characters & spaces combined?

Importing Text File: How To Dynamically Change The Row Delimiter

Jul 22, 2004

Hi,

I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required?

i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace.

Any help would be appreciated

I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Professional. All systems are fully patched

Importing Text File Removes Decimal Separator

Feb 20, 2006

Hi,

I'm trying to import a semi-comma separated text file into a SQL db. I have a field in the text file that contains decimal number. As a decimal separator it's used a comma (15,35). When i use a DTS package to create a destination table and import all rows, the field is created as a float field. In this field the decimal comma is removed so the number in SQL becomes 1535. If I change the decimal separator to (.) i works OK. But I need to get it work with comma as decimal separator. In the DTS package the field form the text file is recognised as varchar (8000). Any ideas?

Importing Text File Problem Using Import And Export Wizard

Feb 5, 2007

Hi,

I'm trying to import text file (generated by UNIX - collation ISO LATIN 2) into the database using SQL SERVER 2005 Import and Export Wizard. I have got a problem with importing a decimal number, because in that column are not only decimal numbers (that's OK), but there are also spaces (not null, the column is filled by spaces and it looks like | |). When I'm trying import that file, then will occur the problem of truncation and import stops.

I can import that data by BULK INSERT, but I would like to import it by Import and Export Wizard at once without using subsequent conversions.

Error When Importing Text File - Saving In Notepad First Works

Mar 16, 2007

I'm trying to import a tab separated text file into sql server 2005 using the import guide. But when running the job I get the error message

Error 0xc02020c5: Data Flow Task: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 19" (67) to column "Column 19" (404). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

The column 19 which reported a problem contains this information:
?searchroot=/_gen_/txt/&template=std.htm&use=prospect&intref=1_26067

However what is mysterious is that if I open the file in notepad or Excel and resave it again the job runs perfectly. This is not a way we could make it work later on since it's an automatic job that will run each night on a new text file.

The text file is sent from Norway to Sweden - and I use ANSI latin 1 when importing.

The column has datatype DT_STR with a width of 500.

I use Locale Swedish and when I save in Notepad it is saved in ANSI,

I use Windows XP Swedish version.

How To Reader Header And Footer In EBCDIC File?

Jun 19, 2007

I have data arriving in fixed-width EBCDIC format. Each file contains one or more groups of records. Before and after each group there is a header/footer, which is not in the same layout as the records that it describes. Header, record and footer each have a different layout to the other but are consistent within themselves.

Thankfully the one thing header, footer and record layout have in common is their length, so at the moment, using the appropriate code page in the Flat File Connection Manager, I'm able to read all the columns as strings. The headers and footers just come through, albeit a bit weird looking, and I can filter them out with a conditional splt.

However, the header contains information that needs to be appended to each record in the group. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to achieve this? I'm trying to avoid developing a custom data source for this task but, if there's no other way, has anyone done it and do they have any tips?

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Error Upon Importing Text File

Apr 23, 2007

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:

"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE"
"108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"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?

Thanks in advance,

Problem Importing Csv Delimited Text File Into A Sql Server 2005 Table

Apr 25, 2006

I am using the Bulk Insert command and trying to import a CSV delimited text file into a table and I am having problems with the quote field delimiters ", " The command below works but it takes in all the "" quotes as well and the field delimiter comma , works only if the commas are the separators only. If I have a comma within a address field for example then the data gets imported into the wrong fields. What can I use to identify that the text qualifier is ". I don't see where I can use the bulk insert command to determine this. Is there another command that I can use or am I using this command incorrectly.

Output0Buffer.myString = "ABCD"
Output0Buffer.myString2 = "B123"
myByteArray = Nothing
End Sub
End Class

I have added myByteStream as a DT_BYTES length 4, myString as (DT_STR, 4, 37) and myString2 as (DT_STR, 4, 37) to the output 0 buffer.

I then add a flat file destination with code set 37 (ebcdic us / canda) with the corresponding columns using fixed width.

When i place a dataviewer on the line between the two the output looks as I expect ("0x12 0x34 0x56 0x7F", "ABCD", "B123"). However, when it gets to the flat file destination it errors out with the following:

Code Block
[Flat File Destination [54]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "myByteStream" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".

If i increase the size of the byte stream (say, to 50) the error goes away but I am left with the string "1234567F" instead of the appropriate hex values. Any clues on how to go about this? I obviously don't care if it gets transferred to "readable" text as this is supposed to be a binary stream, thus the no match in target page seems superfulous but is probably what is causing the problems.

NOTE: this is relating to the following thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2300539&SiteID=1) in that I am trying to determine why these people are not seeing the "UseBinaryFormat" when importing an EBCDIC file (i see this fine when i use an ftp'd file, but it auto converts to ascii) with comp-3 values. I also see the "UseBinaryFormat" when I am importing a regular EBCDIC file which I create that has no import errors with zoned decimals.

Problems Importing Data From Excel (numbers Stored As Text Error)

May 21, 2008

i have an excel sheet
in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers
some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ")
when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text.
no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that
but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task
all these values are imported as nulls!!!

i am lost
i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros
what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers
i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros.
now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution.
i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy
and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)

there must be a better way
please help
thanks in advance
Daniel

Importing Data From A CSV File

May 19, 2004

I am building a aspx/c# application with SQL Server 2000 backend. Now i want to have the option for "Importing" the data into one of the tables in my database.

The source file for the import is a text file , CSV format. I want the users to click on the "Import" button placed on my webform and supply the souce file and the data should get imported into the SQL Server 2000 database table.

I want to know the various ways to implement this. Is it possible to invoke the DTS and then DTS will itself guide the users do the import? or if i need to write a SQL query , what would that be like??
