Data Conversion

Hello,

What will the Dataconversion do if I try to convert a source field to a datetime but the data is not a valid date?

Can I just skip the one field?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Most likely, you will get a conversion error. If you open the UI for the data conversion, and hit the "Configure Error Output" button, you can set the error handling behaviour on a column-by-column basis. If you just want to skip that field, you could set the error behaviour for that column to "Ignore Failure". That column will be set to NULL.

Let me know if you have further questions about this.

Thanks
Mark
