Thanks both of you for your help, I appreciate your quick responses.

If you look at Adam's example, he's using a RIGHT function in conjuction w/ the leading zero to format the date.

@[User::SharePath] +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()),4)+Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2) +Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".txt"

i.e.

20080301 vs. 200831

Yep. I think it makes the naming convention more consistent and legible.

Where are you trying to use this? Adam's example was used in an expression editor.

😀 this wouldn't work in T-SQL.

in T-SQL - something like -

declare @FormatDateTable table (SomeDateValue datetime)

insert into @FormatDateTable (SomeDateValue) values (getdate())

select right('0' + ltrim(convert(varchar(2),datepart(month,SomeDateValue))),2) + '/' +

right('0' + ltrim(convert(varchar(2),datepart(day,SomeDateValue))),2) + '/' +

convert(char(4),datepart(year,SomeDateValue))

from @FormatDateTable

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you Adam 🙂 Your not suggesting this expression (SSIS) is valid in T-SQL?

i.e.

@[User::SharePath] +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()),4)+Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2) +Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".txt"
