How to get a global variable from a DTS package ?

  • Hello everyone,

    I am trying to get a global variable from a package that called in a SP but don't know how to do.

    What I have is a package that has a SP in it.  This SP outputs a value that becomes a global variable in this DTS package. 

    I want to call the above DTS package through dtsrun utility and get the output from the above SP that is a global variable from this DTS package.

    I can use the syntax [/A global_variable_name:typeid=value] to FEED a global variable for a DTS package but don't know how to GET a global variable from a DTS package.

    Does anyone know how to do this?  If you know, please help me to do this. 

    Thank you very much for your help!

     

     

  • Couldn't you just INSERT a value into a table on the server and then pull the results back from there?

  • Did you try and run the SP seperately?

  • Check out these two articles. They helped me a lot. As a result, what you are trying to do, I am now doing  all the time.
