SSIS Dynamic Input Parameters

Question

Good day,
I have a simple package that makes use of a stored procedure.  The stored procedure makes use of a start and end date parameter. I would like, when I execute the package, the first thing is an input box(es) to accept these parameters, then pass them
onto the proc, and the package executes.
May I kindly get assistance with this. I have so far created a script task to prompt the user for these parameters, but I'm getting stuck somewhere.
Please assist.
Many thanks
Regards

Hi Zimiso,
To achieve your requirement, please add two variables User::StartDate, User:EndDate to ReadWriteVariables property of Script Task, then add the following code in the Script Task:
Public Sub Main()
' Add your code here
Dim message, title, message1 As String
Dim myValue, myvalue1 As Object
' Set prompt.
message = "Enter a value for parameter @StartDate"
' Set title.
title = "InputBox Demo"
' Display message, title
myValue = InputBox(message, title)
' Set prompt.
message1 = "Enter a value for parameter @EndDate"
' Display message, title
myvalue1 = InputBox(message1, title)
Dts.Variables("User::StartDate").Value = CType(myValue, DateTime)
Dts.Variables("User::EndDate").Value = CType(myvalue1, DateTime)
Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
End Sub
Then use two variables in Execute SQL Task as the parameters.
Thanks,
