Question

I am using SSIS on SQL Server 2005, VS 2005 SP2.

I have created an XSLT to convert XML to CSV format. When I run this through XML Spy it works fine. I have configured an XML Task within and SSIS package to transform the XML file. Unfortunately, when SSIS performs the transform it does not include the CR/LF at the end of each record – I am left with a sigle line.

I have pased the XSLT below. Could anyone let me know why SSIS is ignoring the ?

I have also pasted a sample XML doc.

Many thanks,

Rob.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="utf-8"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    <xsl:template match="/pptxn">
        <xsl:variable name="fileName" select="/pptxn/file_name"/>
        <xsl:variable name="sendingOrg" select="/pptxn/sending_org"/>
        <xsl:variable name="dateCreated" select="/pptxn/date_created"/>
        <xsl:variable name="timeCreated" select="/pptxn/time_created"/>
        <xsl:variable name="sequenceNumber" select="/pptxn/sequence_number"/>
        <xsl:text>FileName,SendingOrg,DateCreated,TimeCreated,SequenceNumber,PartnerNumber,PartnerOutletRef,CardAccountNumber,TransactionDate,TransactionTime,Spend,PartnerPoints,PartnerReference,PartnerPosId</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text>&#xD;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:for-each select="transaction">
            <xsl:value-of select="$fileName"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$sendingOrg"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$dateCreated"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$timeCreated"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$sequenceNumber"/>,<xsl:value-of select="partner_number"/>,<xsl:value-of select="partner_outlet_ref"/>,<xsl:value-of select="card_account_number"/>,<xsl:value-of select="transaction_date"/>,<xsl:value-of select="transaction_time"/>,<xsl:value-of select="spend"/>,<xsl:value-of select="partner_points"/>,<xsl:value-of select="partner_reference"/>,<xsl:value-of select="partner_pos_id"/>
            <xsl:text>&#xD;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now the XML –>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pptxn xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Y:\PartnerPoints\XML\PointsPartnerRequest.xsd">

    <sequence_number>2</sequence_number>
    <transaction_count>3</transaction_count>
    <transaction>
        <partner_number>1</partner_number>
        <partner_outlet_ref>outlet ref 1</partner_outlet_ref>
        <card_account_number>1</card_account_number>
        <transaction_date>20091221</transaction_date>

Answer 1

I changed the char code from hex to decimal and now it works on SSIS 2005 🙂

<xsl:text>&#13;&#10;</xsl:text>

very strange…
