xavier writes "I import in SQL2000 data from PROGRESS with OpenLink ODBC driver.
If I have a variable field lenght 8, it's possible with PROGRESS to write more 8 characters, example 10.
ODBC driver is able to read the 10 characters (I can see that with a utility program from OpenLink)
But SQL Server sees only 8 characters.
In the DTS, I "disconnect edit", and in "task", "copy data ...","transformation", "DTS transformation_..", "source column", I change the lenght 8 --> 10.
In the object table I indicate 10.
But no resultat !
Have you a idea ???
Thank you in advance ..."
