Hi....I got this problem.
My datatask is made by 2 step.
8
1) SQL server source (is a simple query from a view, 5 column: int, int, bolean, dttime, dtime)
2) raw file destination.
With surprice my raw file have 33 line, ok alla the linse, but are at 0 values.
0 NULL NULL err err
0 NULL NULL err err
I don't know if there is some particular tunning the make extraction always succesfull.
This one is the only task that failure (when I import) of all 33 that build the package.

I believe you are confusing the raw file destination with the flat file destination. A raw file is a special kind of SQL Server data file storage, and is a proprietary binary (not text) file. If you open a raw file with a text editor, you will see a bunch of garbage because it's not meant to be used that way.

Try switching your destination to a Flat File destination and you should get your expected output.

Hope this helps,

Tim

Hi,

I agree with Tim. As he said raw file is a special file and it store the data a binary data which we cann't understand.

Just try with flat file and check whether the data is coming correct or not.

Thank You
