Global variable value lost during insertion in a table

Hi,

This problem is connected with the query i posted yesterday regarding insertion of global variables. I was able to insert the variable in a table to check its value.

This value is mapped to the global variable in a previous Execute SQL Task. But when I use the same global variable to insert in a table, default value 0 is inserted.

My query is does the global variable declared at the package level does not store the value mapped across multiple tasks in control flow?

How can i insert the value stored in a variable in a table from previous SQL Task.

Can anyone suggest some solution,links to try a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aman

Hello,

Im not sure i understand your question, but even so, i think that you want a variable to exist during all the execution of your DTS, so If you variable has a dts scope not a function or a package scope, should fix your problem.

Or you are telling that you have a dts that calls several packages and in one package you do your sql insert task and then you will call another package, inside the same dts?

Hi,

I had declared my variables with global scope(at package level). In my 1st 2 Execute SQL Tasks i was saving those variables as input(which was wrong!). When I changed the variable property as Output things worked fine. In my 3rd SQL Task I wanted to insert those variables.

Moreover I was working on a single package. Hopefully you got my requirement now?

anyway thanks for your reply.

Hello Aman,

I assume that you still have the problem altough you marked the thread as awnsered.

In the variables tab activate the show user variables button, check the information for that.

Afterwards check if the sql task has, in the properties, the result set to single row. If you are expecting to have more than 1 line, then you would need a foreach loop to read every value of the variable.

If all that im saying isnt helping you, use the breakpoints and check the locals tab for the value of the variables.

Because, the variables, shouldn't loose the value, something is wrong.

Hope you can get your problem sorted out.

Good luck
