| Eric Tennett writes "I have a table with col1, col2, col3. col1 & col2 will be will be imported from a csv file using DTS. But I want to hardcode col3 to be "1". All three columns comprise the primary key. Can this be done without using a staging table? Can a format file be used for this?" |

| Yes, you can do it.In the 'Transformations' tab when you specify your column mappings, you're probably using a Copy Column task to transfer the data. Remove this and replace it with ActiveX Script. Then you can control it. Your code might look something like:Function Main() DTSDestination("col1") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("col2") = DTSSource("Col002") DTSDestination("col3") = "1" Main = DTSTransformStat_OKEnd Function |
