Setting A Variable In A For Loop
Jan 30, 2008
The For Loop will execute a stored procedure that passes a variable each time it loops. I need to set this variable, @FiscalWeek, equal to the variable @Counter. So the first time it loops, the counter will be 1, and the Fiscal Year would be set to 1. The next time it would be two, and so forth. Can I do this in the Expressions section of the For Loop? If so,
what would the property be?
InitExpression @Counter =0
EvalExpression @Counter == @CurFiscalWeek
AssignExpression @Counter = @Counter + 1

In a stored procedure that I'm fixing, there is a problem with assigning variable values inside a loop. The proc is using dynamic SQL and if statements to build all these statements, but I'm having to add a new variable value to it that is throwing it out of whack.
This is the current structure:
SET @MktNbr = 10
WHILE @MktNbr < 90
BEGIN
DECLARE@sqlstmt varchar(1000)
SET @Market = '0' + CONVERT(char(2),@MktNbr)
SET @sqlstmt = 'SELECT (columns)
INTO dbo.table' + @Market + '
FROM #table
WHERE marketcode = ''' + @Market + '''
IF @MktNbr = 50
BEGIN
SET @MktNbr = 51
END
ELSE
IF @MktNbr = 51
BEGIN
SET @MktNbr = 52
END
ELSE
IF @MktNbr = 52
BEGIN
SET @MktNbr = 55
END
ELSE
IF @MktNbr = 55
BEGIN
SET @MktNbr = 60
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @MktNbr = @MktNbr + 10
END
EXEC (@sqlstmt)
END
I'm probably having a blonde moment, but I'm trying to replace the if statements with this:
SET @MktNbr =
CASE
WHEN @MktNbr = 10 THEN 20
WHEN @MktNbr = 20 THEN 30
WHEN @MktNbr = 30 THEN 40
WHEN @MktNbr = 40 THEN 50
WHEN @MktNbr = 50 THEN 51
WHEN @MktNbr = 51 THEN 52
WHEN @MktNbr = 52 THEN 55
WHEN @MktNbr = 55 THEN 60
WHEN @MktNbr = 60 THEN 70
WHEN @MktNbr = 70 THEN 80
WHEN @MktNbr = 80 THEN 81
ELSE @MktNbr END
Clearly it's wrong because the proc bombs every time with a duplicate table error.
It has been suggested to me that I should hold these market values in an external table. This sounds reasonable but I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know how I'd implement that. Can someone maybe give me a nudge in the right direction?

Hello all,
I am running into an issue that seems to be collaborated here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=188886&SiteID=1.
To summarize, I have a Foreach Loop that uses a Foreach File Enumerator. The loop writes the file names to a variable which is used in the Expressions property for a flat file's ConnectionString. The flat file is used as a source destination in a Bulk Insert Task that is inside the Foreach Loop. The flat file's connection string is not picking up the file name, resulting in this error: "The specified connection "test.txt" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection."
It doesn't work for a file connection manager or a flat file connection manager.
It does work if I replace the Bulk Insert Task with a Data Flow (flat file source -> ole db destination). It also works if I set the file's connection string manually in a script task.
It looks to me as though the Bulk Insert isn't calling whatever method in the connection manager that reevaluates the property expression. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I looked at the connect site, but couldn't find this particular scenario.
Thanks for any insight you might provide!

I am trying to set the variables value through Execute SQL task and create directory through the FileSystemTask by setting the user variable as source. The User variable has the Directory path to create the directory, but when i set the source as the user variable it complains that its value is empty.
Execute SQL TAsk happens to work correctly when i check the watch window the user variable is set correctly . but value is not setting in the SSIS/Variable window Value.
What is wrong an what method should i use to set the variables value to create directory.
Thanks,

Dear All,
I’m trying to collect values from a query into a single variable within a loop, like so:
WHILE condition is true
BEGIN
SET @intLoop = @intLoop + 1
@myString = @myString + ‘, ‘ + (SELECT companyName FROM @tblTheseComp WHERE id = @intLoop
END
For some reason though the @myString does not collect up the values, but will equal NULL at the end of the loop.
If however I simple do
WHILE condition is true
BEGIN
SET @intLoop = @intLoop + 1
@myString = (SELECT companyName FROM @tblTheseComp WHERE id = @intLoop
END
Then I get the last value from the query as expected.
Can anyone explain why this might be?
Thanks in advance!

I am reviewing some code we have inherited (riddled with multiple nested cursors) and in the process of re-writing some of the code. I came across this and it has me puzzled.
As I understand it, if you declare a variable and then try to re-declare a variable of the same name an error is generated. If I do this inside a While loop this does not seem to be the case. What ever is assigned is kept and just added to (in the case of a table variable)
I understand things are in scope for the batch currently running but I would expect an error to return (example 1 and 2)
--Table var declaration in loop
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @looper INT = 0
WHILE @looper <= 10
BEGIN
DECLARE @ATable TABLE ( somenumber INT )

Hi All,
Seems like a simple task, but been a struggle.
Simply trying to move a group of files from one folder to another folder and renaming the files with the monthyear in the middle of the filename..
I'm using a FOR Loop container and works find. The added complexity is I'm trying to rename the files the same tine and putting the Month Year into the file name.
I guess the struggle is how to get the file name out so I can manipulate it.
I tried creating variable(V_SOURCE) which stores the file path and create another variable(V_FILENAME) to hold the filename. I believe on the expression page of the FOR LOOP editor if I select the the file name and extension radio button, it should put the file name in the V_FILENAME variable.
In my file task trying to join the two variables together in another variable, keep saying my path is wrong with the file task kicks off.
here's the syntaxt
@[User::V_SourcePath] + @[User::V_FILE_NAME]

Hi all,
I'm have created a data flow that uses an OLEDB source with a SQL Query. In the WHERE statement of this query is a condition for the storecode. I want to figure out how to create a loop that will cycle through a list of storecodes using a variable which is passed to the dataflow in turn to the OLEDB source's query and runs through the process for each store.
The reason i'm using a loop is because there are about 15 million records that are merge joined with 15 million others which is causing a huge performance problem. I'm hoping that by looping the process with one store at a time it should be faster. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, folks. As part of a larger bunch of code, I am trying to validate some user form input against a database...I've been picking apart code samples and have the following (currently not yet working) code to show for it. I find tons of complex examples out there RE the data controls, and I have those working. But I can't find any examples of just pulling a single record from a DB, sticking it in a variable, and then checking against that variable to get a boolean response. Anyway, here is the code. I am trying to check that a password field filled by the user matches the value located in the DB. I am not married to this code; if someone suggests a better way to do it rather than using a custom validator control, that's fine too:BEGIN CODE SNIPvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Validate();
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT Password FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE aspnet_Membership.Email='" + emailID.Text + "'";
}
private void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
//between this and the next comment is where I have to get the DB Password field value for the current record
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT Password FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE aspnet_Membership.Email='" + emailID.Text + "'");
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sqlConnection.Open();
reader=command.ExecuteReader();
string currentPasswordDb = reader.IsDBNull(reader.GetString("Password"))? null: reader["Password"].ToString();
args.IsValid = false; // Assume False
{
// Compare db entry against user's entry
if (currentPasswordDb == currentPassword.Text)
{
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
} END CODE SNIP The code above give me the following at runtime:Line 14: SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT Password FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE aspnet_Membership.Email='" + emailID.Text + "'");Line 15: command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;Line 16: sqlConnection.Open();Line 17: reader=command.ExecuteReader();Line 18: string currentPasswordDb = reader.IsDBNull(reader.GetString("Password"))? null: reader["Password"].ToString();Although I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm a former ASP classic developer, moving to c# and .Net. Any ideas?

I am using a cursor (i know - but this is actually something that is a procedural loop).
So effectively i have a table of names of stored procedures. I now have a store proc that loops around these procs and runs each one in order.
Now i am thinking i would like to be able to set the table it loops around in a variable at the start - is it possible to do this? So effectively use a tablename in a variable to use in the sql to define a cursor?

Hi all,
I need some help regarding a conversion in a Script Task.
I am reading my variable values from a database with a sql task, the table has two columns, variable and variableValue.
Looping through the recordset and setting the different variables works well, with two links:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/02/09/SSIS_3A00_-Writing-to-a-variable-from-a-script-task.aspx
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/10/14/ssis-design-pattern-read-a-dataset-from-variable-in-a-script-task.aspx
setting the variable value only works well if the package variable is defined as string, because the db field is a varchar, trying to assign an integer for example brings up an error.
Therefor I tried something like CType:
Dts.Variables("MyVar").Value = CType(MyRecordsetField,String), where the target datatype should be depending on the variable datatype instead of being assigned as a constant.
Could someone give me a hint to handle this?
Thanks in advice!
Cheers

Hi Everyone:
I have a quick but imp SSIS question. I have a For Each Loop Container, and inside that I wish to add a Execute SQL Task item, so I can call a sp to do some inserts/updates. The ForEachLoop container is looping thru a ADO Object source variable(which is the user variable defined by me, as a FullResultSet). In my Execute SQL Task, I would like to utilize one of the columns from the result set as an input parameter to my Stored procedure. Can someone please advise on how to do this? Please let me know if you have any more questions. I am waiting for a response... Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
I have a problem using SSIS since I was a beginner, the problem is I have to do some data transform from flat files into database. These flat files come from many branches of my office with the file structure like this D:SSISranch_nmfile_nm.txt, in folder SSIS there are many branch_nm folder and each branch_nm folder contains many flat files.
My idea was grab the branch_nm folder into array variable using Script Task and then loop this array variable using ForEach Loop Container to get the file and using it for Flat File connection, but I don't know the way to do it.
May this idea work out for sure ?? How to use array variable, that we previously defined inside Script Task, in ForEach Loop Container ?
Thanks in advance

I have a Foreeach loop container that is looking for all the files in a specified directory. For each file in the directory I need to open the file, extract the contents, and pass the contents as a variable for a stored procedure call.
I was able to loop thru the files in the directory and see each file and store the name to a variable.
I was able to use an XML task to open one file via a file connection that connects to a specified file and store the contents in a variable and then execute the SQL task using the variable.
What I am unable to figure out is how to put the two processes together and get the XML task to open the file by using the variable that contains the filename. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I want to be able to have a single select statment:
SELECT TOP 1 Call.JobNum, Call.CallID, Call.Company, Call.LastCallTime
FROM ClientJob INNER JOIN Client ON ClientJob.ClientID = Client.ClientID
INNER JOIN Call INNER JOIN Login ON Call.JobNum = Login.JobNum ON ClientJob.JobNum = Login.JobNum
WHERE (Login.LoginID = 3) AND (Call.Status = 0) AND (DATEDIFF(hh, Call.LastCallTime, getdate()) > 10)
ORDER BY Call.CallID
but with this select statment I also want to set a variable:
declare @variable int
SELECT TOP 1 Call.JobNum, @variable = Call.CallID, Call.Company, Call.LastCallTime
FROM ClientJob INNER JOIN Client ON ClientJob.ClientID = Client.ClientID
INNER JOIN Call INNER JOIN Login ON Call.JobNum = Login.JobNum ON ClientJob.JobNum = Login.JobNum
WHERE (Login.LoginID = 3) AND (Call.Status = 0) AND (DATEDIFF(hh, Call.LastCallTime, getdate()) > 10)
ORDER BY Call.CallID
Now SQL Server does not like this, can not set a variable in a multiple select statment. I NEED to do this all in one step if possible. Any suggestions?

Why does this not work?
declare @ret varchar(50)
DECLARE @X SQL_VARIANT
set @X=10
SET @ret=select SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(@X,'BaseType')
Just trying to assign the SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY return value to @ret and it issues an error: Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
But I don't want to convert I just want to assign the result to the variable.
what's confusding is that you can do this:
if(select SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(@X,'BaseType'))='int'
So I assume I should b able to do the above.

Hi,I am having problems setting the value of a variable in a SQL Stringthat I have to create dynamically in my procedure. The code that Icurrently have is as follows:set @sqlStatement='Set @compare_string=' + '(Select ' +@group_column_list_mod + ' from ' + @Tbl_Name + '_Sorted' + ' whereIdentity_Column=' + ltrim(rtrim(str(@loop_counter))) + ')'exec(@sqlStatement)The error message that I get is as follows:Must declare the variable '@compare_string'.Here @compare_string has already been declared in the procedure and Idon't have a problem using the variable anywhere else but this SQLStatement (when called using the EXEC function).I am not sure why SQL Server can't see the variable declared when usedin a string in conjunction with EXEC. Is this a syntax issue? Any helpon this issue would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance.

I'm in the process of creating a series of packages to do the ETL for a datawarehouse. As such, I've got quite a few DataFlow tasks scattered through them.
The problem I'm coming across is where the disk that the temp files (created during the processing) are put on is short of space (when compared to some of the data sets I'm copying around and noting that it's the System disk, not the "Data Drive").
To get around this, I found number of article scattered around that suggested using the BufferTempStoragePath property of the DataFlow tasks to redirect the temp files to somewhere else. This works fine for the tasks that I hard-code the new directory.
Noting the number of these tasks that I want to redirect, and also that the Dev environment will be different to the Production environment (and I have no control over the drive letters, paths, etc, in Prod), it was suggested that a package variable be created, assigned to the property and then said variable could be exposed via the Package Configuration file.
That's great as far as it goes, but I just cannot, for some reason, make it work.
The xml in the config file is:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[::BufferTempStoragePathValue].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>D:Temp</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
The property in the DataFlow task is then set to: @BufferTempStoragePathValue.
When the package is executed, it logs the error message "The buffer manager cannot create a temporary storage file on any path in the BufferTempStoragePath property. There is an incorrect file name or no permission."
My question for the group is two-fold: 1) what am I doing wrong in the setup of the property/variable, and 2) what are the security permissions that are required for the (new) folder.
It's got to be something obvious, I just can't see what!
Many thanks for your assistance.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
im using a Foreach ADO Enumerator in my SSIS Package, which iterate on a DataSet from a SQL Task.
I use the "Variable Mappings" on my Foreach Loop to retrieve the values into User-variables. But what i need is a way to combine a value from the DataSet with a User-variable and assign this new value to a new User-variable.
Anybody tried something like this?

Hi,
I have a package that uses a variable string (in date format) to execute a package.
I want to modify that variable in such a way that if no value is set for that variable then use system date else use date in varaiable.
Can someone help me out in this.. I know it has something to do with the expression builder but donn know how to do it.
Cheers

I have to import a number of excel spreadsheets. I'm using the classic Foreach Loop inside another Foreach loop approach. The outside loop (Foreach File Enumerator) cycles through the Excel files, while the inside loop (Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator - ExcelSchema - Tables) to cycle through the individual Excel sheets in each file.
Nothing special there; however, for some reason these excel files have some "phantom" tabs that should not be imported. I call them phanton because they show up as an importable tab in a SSSIS import wizard but actually are not listed in the excel file structure (no, they are not hidden tabs, I checked).
My idea is to use a constraint to NOT import those phanton tabs. The name convention should allow me to do that because the normal tabs have the name 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$' and the phantom tabs show up as 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase (the line below was captured from the Local Variable window and show one of the phantom tabs name).
+ User::WorksheetName {'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase} String
I tried using Len (@[User::WorksheetName]) == 17, which corresponds to the length of the normal tabs name ('AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'). However, it does not work. For some reason the portion of the phantom tab name after the ending single quote (_xlnm#_FilterDatabase)Â appears to be ignored.
I tested with a number of different expressions, including reversing the variable, to no avail. It seems that internally just the standard name between quotes is what the constraint sees.

What I'm trying to do is this;
I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to
SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt
FROM GLTable
WHERE Year <= varYear
varYear being a variable which is each year from a query
SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable
My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.
What I have done is to defined two variables as follows
Name: varYear (this will hold the year)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]
I've created a SQL Task as follows
Result set: Full Result Set
Connection Type: OLE DB
SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable
Result Name: 0
Variable Name: User::varYear
Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear
Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table
I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows
Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable
Variable Name: User::varYear
However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."
and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".
I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Bill

Hi:
I am trying to loop through 4 files in a folder and read the names of those files through the For each loop container task. I have 4 readme files (readme1.txt thru readme4.txt) in a folder called C:SSIS.
I have added a for each Loop container and a script task to my package. In the Variable Mapping page I have named the Variable and configured the index to be 0. The problem is when I execute the package the file name that is read is always readme1.txt. I want all the file names to be read under the folder ( in other words configure the index to be 0 thru 4). How do I configure the index so that it can read all the files?.
The following is the code I have in my script task:
Public Sub Main()
Dim variables As Variables
If Dts.Variables.Contains("FileName") = True Then
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneforRead("FileName", variables)
End if
Msgbox ("Retrieved the File " & CStr(variables("FileName").Value))
Dts.TaskResult=Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
When I execute the package with the above code, I always see a message box popping up and saying Retrived File Readme1.txt.
I want the msgbox to pop up and say
Retrieved Readme1.txt
Retrieved Readme2.txt
Retrieved Readme3.txt and so forth...
Any help on achieving this is appreciated.
Thanks
AK
