Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.

I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?

Any suggestions?

Thanx,
Trudye

I would imagine you are going to have to use a script object to lookup the sequence number, and programatically change the destination file name of your flat file connection manager.

You can declare 2 variables in your SSIS package to hold the file name & seq#. The filename property fordestination connection will be set to Filename variable + seq# variable. You can use a Execute SQL task to get values of seq# variable.
