How to declare column name as variable ?
Hi Guys,
I need to store couple of columns in different variable, so I can use those variables later stage.
DataType: String
Input Columns:
StoreID StoreName
1234 ABCD
I am using foreach loop and flat file connection, above are my column and I want to store them in variable to use in later stage in ETL.
How can we store column name in variable inside the foreeach loop ?
Thanks,
D

Are the column names to be stored in variables known beforehand or it is stored in some table?Nitesh Rai- Please mark the post as answered if it answers your question

Hi Nitesh,
I need those Column names before hand, because I going to use those names to create Files
E.g.: FileName_StoreID _StoreName.csv
I am going to use expression something like this
Sales+ "_" + [@USER::StoreID
] + "_" + [@USER::StoreName] + ".csv

I want to know where are the column names stored? Suppose I have 2 column names A and B and I want to save them in a variable then I can directly create 2 variables and store the column names. Here I know that 2 column names are A and B but what if I don't
know the column names? In case column names are not known, where to look for column names?Nitesh Rai- Please mark the post as answered if it answers your question

Ya you are right. As you said "then I can directly create 2 variables and store the column names". I want to know how
to store those columns in variables. Column names are fixed they will not change columns are coming from flat file and they are always same position.
I know its bit confusing, all I need how to create 2 variables and store the column names in them.
Appreciate for your patience.

Creating variables that won't change is simple.
Right-click anywhere in your control flow, select variables. An explorer window should pop up. Type the name of the variable you, ie. str_StoreID. Set the data type as string with a scope of package level. In the value section type in your variable. Sounds
like you need a dynamic solution though, reading record by record the store id and store name, correct?Please 'Mark as Answer' if found helpful - Chris@tier-1-support
