• SQL Server How to intentionally cause a package to fail using a SQL Task

When I run the stored proc outside of the package, it fails as it should. However, when I run it in the package, the package does not fail. It moves on to the next task and completes normally. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong Thank you, Perry ...Show All

  I have a problem with this message and a few similar once. When I get it I invoke the debugger and attempt to examine the variable/argument. In this particular case it is a memner of an array.

If I attempt to look at it in Command Window I will get the same message that it is invalid. More than that, some other related, neighbour ...Show All
