I am executing queries against a large SQL db and getting the data I want. But I want to send the data to a file, which I also have working BUT I can't get an expression to work for naming the file. The data is for the previous month so I want a name like (today is 08/14/2016):
Source201607XX.txt
I have tried at least 20 different expressions like:
"Source" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252)DATEPART("yyyy", GETDATE()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252)DATEPART("mm" , DATEADD("mm",-1,GETDATE())) + "XX.txt"
and get
Expression cannot be evaluated.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%u00ae+Visual+Studio%u00ae+2008&ProdVer=9.0.30729.1&EvtSrc=Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Controls.TaskUIFramework.TaskUIFrameworkSR&EvtID=FailToEvaluateExpression&LinkId=20476
Attempt to parse the expression ""Source" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) DATEPART("yyyy" , GETDATE()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252)DATEPART("mm" , DATEADD("mm",-1,GETDATE())) + "XX.txt""
failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed, or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Controls)
If I do:
"Source" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252)DATEPART("yyyy", GETDATE()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252)DATEPART("mm",GETDATE()) + "XX.txt"
It works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
