Hello-

I am running a DTS package from a stored procedure by using something like

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /servername /Npackagename /Uuser /Ppassword'

It works fine, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell if the package completed successfully or if there wan an error. I think runnig the sproc returns a recordset, but I'm not sure what to check for to see if it completed without any errors. Can anyone help?

Thanks-
Nick

You can load and run the package using the object model
see
www.nigelrivett.com
Loading DTS package via sp_oacreate

You can then interrogate all the objects within the package to find any errors and what they are.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I understand most of the code, but what is @FileName?

Yeah I saw that. Two of the variables are self explanitory to me, and in fact needed to use them the way I was handling this before. FileName was not needed before and isn't immediately obvious what purpose it serves in this context.
