Brian writes "Is there a way to use functions such as DATEADD and DATEDIFF in the transform data task properties screen in DTS. Under the Source Tab and Having SQL Query selected I wanted to limit the amount of information that is transferred to the database using functions but it keeps coming up with different types of errors.

I already have a working statement but that limits other fields but when I add in the WHERE part

((DATEDIFF(dd, (DATEADD(ss, SHIP_DATE, '1/1/1970')), GETDATE())) < 8)


First the DATEADD function is trying to take the field SHIP_DATE which is in seconds from 1970, add it to 1/1/1970 so that it has a normal format, then find the fields where the date in SHIP_DATE is within the last 7 days from GETDATE.

I'm not sure that DTS allows functions like GETDATE and DATEADD or if I'm not writing it correctly."
