casting not working?

Can anyone see what's wrong with this transformation?

((DT_STR)([IN-DLN]))

I'm trying to cast DLN as a string, but I keep getting a parsing error in the derived column tranformer...

Thanks!

What *is* the error exactly?

You might want to just try:
(DT_STR)[IN-DLN]|||"Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_STR)[IN-DLN]" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed, or it might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis."

Any ideas? Your suggested syntax didn't work, either. Sad
|||Silly me...

(DT_STR,length in bytes,1252)[IN-DLN]|||When looking at the list of available Type Casts, you can see that the DT_STR type cast requires two arguments.|||Thanks as ever, Phil!
