Script Component help

  • Hi I have a bit of a dilemma I am wanting to creating a column based on a value in a flatfile, and insert that value into the destination table...

    I have a flatfile and a oledb destination, I dropped a script component on the dataflow tab, and I am wanting to take an existing field and create a for lack of a better word, "CODE" field based on that value. How would I accomplish this?

    Exmple--- where description = Test1 code = 1, Test2 code = 2, and same thing for Test3

    Description code

    Test1 1

    Test2 2

    Test3 3

    Is this as simple as merely taking character 5, or is there more to it than that?

    Before resorting to a Script Component, you should check out the Derived Column transformation, it is simpler, faster and may have enough horsepower to get what you want.

  • No there is a field that has multiple values, depending on these values I want to put a integer in a field "[ChargeType_Code]", I am reading a csv and inserting these values from the file, but there is no "CODE", I am using the description to generate the "[ChargeType_Code]" then insert it into the table I will be reporting off.

  • Phil is correct. You should be able to do this in a Derived Column transformation. The expressions are quite powerful.

  • I am looking into this, but new to this and don't really understand, how to write the expression, isn't like a case in TSQL..

  • Not sure I understand the intricacies of what you're doing, I'm a little lost in your explanation, but if it's a 1:1 from Description to code, a Lookup Component with ignore errors (NULLS for unmatched then) should do what you need.
