SSIS Script datetime conversion

  • Hi All

    Maybe very easy 1 this, On my PC I always have the regional settings, set to yyyy/mm/dd, now the SSIS pacakge might be run on a different PC as well, with regional settings set to maybe mm-dd-yyyy.

    In my script I want to rename a text file and then move it to the archive folder.

    If the reginal settings is set to the second version I'm going to land up with a file where the format is going to be "mmddyyyy file.txt"

    How can I ensure that the date will be in the yyyymmdd format, seeing that in SQL server I can use the convert function with parameter 121 but I cant seem to find anything for SSIS script component

    I'm using

    sDate = Replace(Convert.ToString(Today()), "/", "")

    to return the string of date

  • You could try playing around with custom date formats where you specify the format in code, eg

    Now.Date.ToString("yyyyMMdd")


  • Thanks Phil!

    You are never to old to learn something new. I didnt even know about the now.date
