    It's probably a warning rather than an error.

    If you think of an SSIS dataflow as the movement of data through a pipeline, from one variable to another, you might start to get the picture.

    The problem you have is that your source variable has been defined as 20 chars long and you are moving its data to a variable which is 5 chars long - hence the risk of data loss which SSIS is warning you about.

    You need to fix the datatype of the source data to remove the warning. Sorry but no time to explain the detail of this now.

  • Its actually not a warning....its is an actual error caused the setting 'Fail Package'(or FailTask) on the 'Truncation'. You can set it to 'Ignore Failure' on Truncation and it will work fine.

    Really but you should make the make the size of the source and the destination col the same.

  • Change the destination db field if you can, or "T"ransform the source to limit the length to 5.

    I have seen this "error" many, many times and for me it has never been a show stopper, but more of a "hey, look out, this may happen" type of thing. 😉
