SSIS - How to convert codepage 1252 (ANSI - Latin I) to 20127 (US-ASCII)

Question

I'm trying to write to a flat file destination with a US-ASCII code page (20127) but my input columns are in code page ANSI - Latin I (1252).

I've tried using a "Data Conversion" task but the "Code Page" column of the column definition won't hold - it keeps going back to 1252.

I've tried using a "Derived Column" task with (DT_STR,50,20127)[col1] (which reports that it's the right code page, but then I get truncation errors even when the column isn't longer than 50 characters.

An ideas? Thanks.

Hi @Peter Bishop ,

May I know what's your source type? If it is flat file source, you may change it from Flat File Connection Manager like shown.

Use Derived Column task with (DT_STR,50,20127)[col1] should also work, check the length of the source data or add the length to see if it could resolve the issue.

Try to redirect the 'error' rows to a separate file and then inspect them manually.

You may also refer to converting-flat-file-8859-1-encoding-to-ole-db-destination-using-codepage-1252 to see if it is helpful.
