Hi,

Call support.

only thing I can add:
you'll need to check if the DB2 binarys are correctly transported to DS then you'll need to check if what you get is compatible with what SQL Server expects, if not you'll need to convert the value to the one expected by SQL Server.

I can't help wondering what platform is the DB2 on? (SQL server is obviously windows oriented DB2 on the other hand is not that obvious)

IHTH,
Roy R.

try by setting <b>Nullable</b> property of the column to <b>No</b> . this way you can check if the problem is happing during extraction(ie from Db2) or transformation(into sql server) . cheers!
