Hello everyone,

I am encountering a problem with a SSIS 2005 package. In the package I have a source table and a destination table. In the source table there is a field called validity_date which is of type varchar. I perform a Data Conversion using DT_Date to convert this field to datetime. I insert the converted field in the destination table.

In the source table the field is stored in the format DD/MM/YY and the two digit cut off year for SQL server 2005 is 2050. The problem that I am encountering is that the date 23/12/50 in the source table gets inserted as '1950-12-23 00:00:00.000' instead of '2050-12-23 00:00:00.000' in the destination table. Since the two digit cut off year is 2050, the year 50 should be interpreted as 2050 instead of 1950.

Can anyone please provide me some feedback regarding this issue?

Thanks and kind regards.
