I had been tearing my hair out for days trying to work out why it kept falling over after importing 10,000 rows. Thanks! David – this works a treat.

But most likely I had the output from the Script Component passed over to a Derived Column component. The column must be NEW, not the existing 255 wide one.<br>You may need to explicitly truncate the string with a SUBSTR or something similar before your conversion. But you can do that all in one line in a Derived Column. It's been a while. But most likely I had the output from the Script Component passed over to a Derived Column component.

What are you using to reduce the output? If I have a unicode string (255) and try a data conversion, even if the expression = (DT_WSTR,15)myValue, the length remains at 255, and fails due to truncation.
