Hi, are two examples of code I suppose should come with the same result,but in case when I am using SUBSTRING function I get an error message "Type mismatch: 'substring'.
Why it happens?
Dim sSourceFile
DTSGlobalVariables("SuppCode").value = left(righ(sSourceFile,9),1)
DTSGlobalVariables("SuppCode").value = substring(sSourceFile,4,1)

The vb equivalent of SUBSTRING is MID()
