    Formatting text file using DTS Select/Export

    I’m doing a Data Transformation Service extract of data under MS-SQL 7.0. I have two fields that are numeric. I need to extract them to a text, fixed length file. When I extract them – I can get them to the right field(column), but they export in a ‘right-justified’ format.

    Ie. From database table: Receipt_amount defined as decimal (19,7) has a value of ‘123.45’

    When I extract, I want it to go into a text, fixed length field, I’ll call recptamt and define as numeric, (10,2)

    I need the value left-justified so that it would fill the field with ‘ 123.45’

    It comes out as ‘123.45 ‘
Working...
