How do we deal with packed data while using the DTS import
facitlity. The data provided is a fixed record length flat
file with sepcific record legths packed to reduce data
size. Does Sql Server 2000 offer any utility to unpack
this type of data fiel to import into a table in the
server.
Thnx for your help in advance

Hi

It is not clear how you records are packed, but it may be possible to write
a bespoke active X script transformation that will unpack them.
