I have a fixed-width file whose first column, is, say, 50 bytes. The length of the data in the column varies from row to row so most of the 50 bytes is usually blank filled after the data ends. I want to import that column into a Sql column defined as varchar(50). The import works fine but generates the appropriate warning "[SQL Server Destination [22]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "Col0" with a length of 50 to database column "col0" with a length of 50.". Yes, it is right but truncation will never actually occur. I can leave this error intact in my package and ignore it but I need a better way to deal with this issue. Recommendations appreciated.
TIA,
