Converting text to varchar in a variable

hi all,
i am getting  CUSTMER_ID  like ('1234','23456','23445','9845'.....)  almost 3k  Customers in single row, i am selecting this from a table a running through execute SQL task and  capturing the result in a variable , but when i try
execute the task i am getting the error saying variable value is differs from the current variable. i converted the column to varchar(max) but no use.
please help me to solve this issue , any help will be appreciated. 

SSIS doesn't recognize VARCHAR(MAX). So,
Try using SELECT CAST(CUSTOMER_ID AS VARCHAR(8000)) Cust_ID FROM YourTable and map this "Cust_ID" column in Result Set.
If your result is exceeding the limit, store it in Object variable.
Later you can access Cust_ID by using ForEach Loop or using Script Task.

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

    >> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
    This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
    the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity. 
    In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point. 
    Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity. 
    Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables! 
    Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.  
    Think about how silly this is: 
     SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
    We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental. 
    We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

  • Implicit conversion of "TEXT" to "VARCHAR"

    Running jdk1.6.0_12, Linux RHE, Sybase 12.5 and connection with jconn3.jar
    Have a table with a column of type varchar(50)
    Was able to isolate the problem to this column, as the SQLException was thrown from the line "stmt.setString("@<colname>", <value>);"
    In doing ~14,000 individual inserts in 30 min I had two Exceptions thrown (Implicit conversion of "TEXT" to "VARCHAR" is not allowed), both at the same place and both repeatable. I put a print statement in the catch block and found that both were inserting the same 6 character string.
    Ran all the docs several times more and got the same number of failures on the same files.
    Querying the database I found that I had almost 5,000 other insert of the same string which were sucessful.
    Not able to identify what was different about the two failures, no unprintable characters, etc.
    Is this a JDBC issue or Sybase?
    What are the reasons that would cause this exception to be thrown when inserting 6 characters into a hole for 50?
    other ideas?

    You would need to print the integer value of each character to insure they are the same.
    You should do that starting with the source and NOT what is in the database.
    If different then that is the source of the problem.
    If the same then it is probably just a bug in the driver/database which you are stuck with. Various solutions would be to try a conversion (format the SQL to take a text and convert to varchar) or trying playing with the commit level (commit 50 versus 5000 or whatever.)

  • "Convert Text to Table" Size limit issue?

    Alphabetize a List
    I’ve been using this well known work around for years.
    Select your list and in the Menu bar click Format>Table>Convert Text to Table
    Select one of the column’s cells (1st click selects entire table, 2nd click selects individual cell)
    Open “Table Inspector” (Click Table icon at top of Pages document)
    Make sure “table” button is selected, not “format” button
    Choose Sort Ascending from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu
    Finally, click Format>Table>Convert Table to Text.
    A few days ago I added items & my list was 999 items long, ~22 pages.
    Tonight, I added 4 more items. Still the same # pages but now 1,003 items long.
    Unable to Convert Text to Table! Tried for 45 minutes. I think there is a list length limit, perhaps 999 items?
    I tried closing the document w/o any changes. Re-opening Pages & re-adding my new items to the end of the list as always & once again when I highlight list & Format>Table>Convert Text to Table .....nothing happens! I could highlight part of the list up to 999 items & leave the 4 new items unhighlighted & it works. I pasted the list into a new doc and copied a few items from the middle of the list & added them to the end of my new 999 list to make it 1003 items long (but different items) & did NOT work. I even attempted to add a single new item making the list an even 1000 items long & nope, not working. Even restarted iMac, no luck.
    I can get it to work with 999 or fewer items easily as always but no way when I add even a single new item.
    Anyone else have this problem?  It s/b easy to test out. If you have a list of say, 100 items, just copy & repeatedly paste into a new document multiple times to get over 1,000 & see if you can select all & then convert it from text to table.
    Thanks!

    G,
    Yes, Pages has a table size limit, as you have discovered. Numbers has a much greater capacity for table length, so if you do your sort in Numbers you won't have any practical limitation.
    A better approach than switching to Numbers for the sort would be to download, install and activate Devon Wordservice. Then you could sort your list without converting it to a table.

  • How do I use the Services menu to convert text to an iTunes track?

    I'm trying to convert text to an iTunes track using the Services option on the Firefox drop down menu, but having trouble with it. I have set my preferences to turn on that option, but all that happens is I get a spinning wheel at the top of my screen, and it doesn't record. I can't see anything in the iTunes settings that I need to change, but wondering if that could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

    Hi,
    I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
    I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
    But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
    I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
    Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
    Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
    (FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
    Please help me with this issue.
    Thanks & Regards.
    Naveen.

    hello Naveen,
    since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
    by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

  • Problem in converting text to image.

    Hi I am trying to convert a text to image. The code for the same is pasted below. The problem is how do I change the background color. No matter what color I give with Graphics2D object, the background is always black. I want a white background.
    public class TextToImg1
    public static void main(String args[])
    try
    int width = 400;
    int height = 400;
    BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Graphics2D g2D = bimage.createGraphics();
    g2D.drawString("This is the sample page to convert text to image.",100,100);
    g2D.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    g2D.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    File f = new File ("anImage.jpg");
    ImageIO.write (bimage, "jpeg", f);
    catch(Exception exception)
    System.err.println(exception.getMessage());
    }

    Probably because you didn't draw the background. Use the fillRect(...) method to paint the background using the color your want.

  • Acrobat Pro 10.1.2, unable to convert text to outlines

    Hello,
    Since updating to Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.2, I am unable to use the flattner preview to convert text to outlines. The dialog box appears, and there are no error messages, but upon comleting the same steps I've been using for years (including last week), text is not converted to outlines. It just isn't working. There is no feedback, or error message. I have tried restarting the computer and that did not help. I will try deleting the preferences. Anyone else have this problem, or have a fix for it?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately that did not solve my problem.
    I use the flatner preview to covert text to outlines so that I can edit PDF files when I do not have the original fonts - and so that I don't have to use replacement fonts. Editing the text isn't necessary in this case so converting the text to curves is not a problem.
    Unfortunately, I am still without a solution. I really don't want to rasterize the file (convert to bitmap) because I would like to keep it in a vector format for editing in Illustrator.

  • Convert text in PDF to editable field in Reader

    Hi,
    Is there a way in Acrobat Pro to convert text in the PDF to an editable field so that someone opening the PDF in Reader would be able to amend the text. Or do you actually have to make the text in Acrobat?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jackie

    It can probably be achieved with a script, but if you only need to do it once, I think doing it manually is the best way to go.

    I am writing a custom adapter module to convert the text  content to XML message at the sender adapter end.

    I have created the java logic in the process mesthod of the bean to conver the text message to XML paylod (don't know if it is correct). I do not have much idea about the Adpater API methods.
    Can anybody help me with the logic to convert the text msg to xml paylod using adapter frame work APIs or is there any way I can debug and test my logic in NWDS.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ,
    To convert Text message to XML why yiu want to go for Adapter Module?? Using file content conversion it self you can do it right?????
    There is no standard logic to convert text file to XML, the logic purely depends on your text message format.

  • Change color of compoundPathItems created by converting Text to Paths using createOutline()

    I used createOutline() to convert Text to Paths. However, the return is a GroupItem and I had difficulty in changing its stroke and fill colors.
    Here is my script:
    var docActive = app.documents.add();
    var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
    var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
    areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
    areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
    var textOutline = areaText.createOutline();
    // Trying to change stroke and fill colors of textOutline but got stuck here...

    try this, I added comments next to each line
    var docActive = app.documents.add();
    var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
    var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
    areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
    areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
    var textOutline = areaText.createOutline(); // this is a group
    var compoundPaths = textOutline.compoundPathItems; // each letter is a compound path
    for (i=0; i<compoundPaths.length; i++) {    // loop thru all letters
        var compoundPath = compoundPaths[i];    // this holds one letter at a time
        var pathItems = compoundPath.pathItems; // all pieces (pathItems) of the compound path make up each letter
        for (j=0; j< pathItems.length; j++) {   // loop thru all letter parts
            var pathItem = pathItems[j];            // this holds one letter piece at a time
            pathItem.fillColor = docActive.swatches[5].color;       // fill it with the 5th swatch

  • Grey background in converted text

    I added some shadow to text to have it converted to an image (PNG).
    This looks good at the iMac at home. At some PC, which also doesn't show the navigation bar, the text gets a grey background. Example:
    http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Books.html where the upper picture has real text and the lower picture contains converted text (PNG).
    Something similar here: http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Gallery-photo_course.html where the button "Gallery" at the top has a grey background.
    I assume that not all viewers will be able to see this because some browsers show it well and others don't.
    Is there something in iWeb that I can do to fix this?
    Is this because it is PNG and some browsers have an issue with PNG.
    Alternate solution is to type the text in a graphics program, save it as jpg and at this to iWeb so that iWeb does not have to convert to PNG.
    Thanks for your help.
