• I believe you can use a derived column to null the field before it goes outbound. You've got a 0-length in there and that's what's trying to send, if my faulty memory serves me correctly.

    Basically something like this:

    TRIM(cola) == "" ? (DT_STR,<len>,1252)NULL(DT_STR,<len>,1252) : cola
