Is the /A parameter from a DTSRUN command automatically assigned to the
global variable defined in the DTS package? If not, how would this be
done? I'm trying to pass path/filename information to change the
datasource text file, but the global variable that I use to assign to
the datasource appears to be empty.

That is the point of the switch yes.

If you run it though and then go back to design time, the value for the
Global Variable will be the one set at design time and not from the
DTSRUN cmd.
