Error During Transformation Directcopyxform For Row Number
Display Modes TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: Herbert Mo Guest Posts: n/a 09-03-2003 Hi All, I get following error when I use DTS to copy data from DB2 to SQL server, DB2's field type is TIME and SQL Server's field type was automatically map with smalldatetime, but some tables that have same mapping don't have such problem. --------------------------- Copy Data from TIMES to [TEST].[dbo].[TIMES] Step --------------------------- Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: General conversion failure on column pair 4 (source column 'DURATION' (DBTYPE_DBTIME), destination column 'DURATION' (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP)). The SQL Server 200 has been installed SP3 Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Herbert Allan Mitchell Guest Posts: n/a 09-03-2003 I do not know what are the boundaries of TIME on DB2 but it is my guess that they break the limitations of SMALLDATETIME in SQL Server. Hve a look at those restrictions for SQL Server here mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20SQL%2 0Server\80\Tools\Books\tsq lref.chm::/ts_da-db_9xut.htm If the boundaries are the same then you are probably presenting the data to SQL Server in a format that it interprets incorrectly. -- ---------------------------- Allan Mitchell (Microsoft SQL Server MVP) MCSE,MCDBA www.SQLDTS.com I support PASS - the definitive, global community for SQL Server professionals - http://www.sqlpass.org "Herbert Mo" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... > Hi All, > > I get following error when I use DTS to copy data from DB2 to SQL server, > DB2's field type is TIME and SQL Server's field type was automatically map > with > smalldatetime, but some tables that have same mapping don't have such > problem. > --------------------------- > Copy Data from TIMES to [TEST].[dbo].[TIMES] Step > --------------------------- > Error during Transformation 'DirectC
