It depends on how you have your Lookup transform configured. It also depends on which version of SSIS you’re using. SSIS 2008 allows you to configure the lookup so that a failure either goes to the error output, or to an alternate success output.
In either case, if configured, the row would go to one of those two outputs. I do not know what would happen if you have no error or alternate output configured. I think you’re probably correct.
If you’re trying to fill in a value from the lookup table if a match is made, but to do nothing if there is no match, then you need to configure one of the other two outputs, then use a Union All transform to bring the two branches back together.
