Problem With Result Set in SQL Task

Hello,

I have a SQL Task configured to return a single row, and a single column value. The SQL Statement looks like this;

SELECT MAX(InvoiceDate) AS InvoiceDate
FROM dbo.DailySettlementData

The statement parses without a problem. In the 'Result Set' of the SQL Task I have the following;

Result Name; InvoiceDate, Variable Name; LatestTableDate

'LatestTableDate' is of type 'DateTime' (and I'm wondering now if this needs to be of type 'Object')

I need this MAX(InvoiceDate) value in a later step that checks this value against another date type variable.

I'm not getting the result I expect. Do I have the variable for the result set in the SQL Task set up correctly?

Thank you for your help!

I assume that the variable name is "User::LatestTableDate", right?

Otherwise that looks fine. It doesn't need to be an object datatype. You can try a result name of "0" instead of "InvoiceDate" and see if that returns anything different.|||

One of my variables needed to have 'EvaluateAsExpression' set to True. Now it works fine.

A couple of questions related to working with SSIS in Visual Studio;

I'm looking for some way to 'watch' my SSIS variables in the 'watch' window. I thought this would be available from the Debug or Windows menu in Visual Studio 2005, but I don't see it.

While I'm on the subject of Visual Studio, I've noticed that all of my packages related to a specific project will open when I try to debug just one package. Why does that happen? The packages are independent of each other.

Thank you again for your help.

Close them before saving the project and closing it. It will open whatever you left open the previous time.|||

problem with query

Hi

I have the following bit of code

string test0001 = "Select Max(activity_order) from roomactivitylk";

int max;

SqlCommand cmd15 = new SqlCommand();
cmd15.Connection = con;
cmd15.CommandText = test0001;
max = (int)cmd15.ExecuteScalar();


max = max + 1;

what it does is add 1 to the value max which is taken from the database

however it seems to be set to 0 as everytime it brings back 0 even though the next incrment value should be 2

any suggestions?

Hi

I am not sure which parts of the code is in a loop. But i guess, the "int max" declaration should be outside of the loop (if it is already not).

Hope this helps.

My guess is u want to perform autoincrement . If i m right i think u may not get it because when there r no records exist check the return value.u may get null if u get null make it as 1 or increment with the max value. Plz reply to me am i rt or wrong

Thank u
