Hi,

I've never had to reference a system variable, but I have referenced
local variables by passing the variable into the script using the
supplied text box in the properties of the script object.

Hope this post helps.

Ok so on the outside of the script task you have a box to enter names of
variables into a ReadOnly colllection. Is your variable listed there?

No matter, its better to do this inside the task anyway.

OK So let's say I want to grab the PackageName system variable
withinside the script task here is how I would go about doing it.



Public Sub Main()

Dim vs As Variables

Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForRead("System::Pack ageName", vs)

MsgBox(vs(0).Value.ToString())

vs.Unlock()

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
