BUG #: 101719 (SQLBUG_70)
SYMPTOMS
The Transfer SQL Server Objects task of Data Transformation Services (DTS) may return a success even if it fails to transfer the character data into the destination database. This may occur when you try to transfer the character data into a column in which a character data type ( char or varchar) is smaller than the column of the source table. If the data of the source table is larger than the column of the destination table DTS may output the following error message to the <dbowner>.<table>.BCP file on the script file directory:
#@ Row x, Column x: String data, right truncation @#
xxx xxxx xxxxxx
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem you can either:
- Use the Drop destination objects first option in the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.
-or-
- Widen the column of the destination table so that it is larger than the column of the source table.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
