Q: 

% characters as parameters in dts packages

I need to pass a % character as part of a parameter in a dts package. The package just errors saying invalidenvironment variable specification.

Does anyone have any ideas?

A: 

Can you post the command line that you're using? Are you putting quotes around the /A option value?

I had an Execute Process task to run psftp.exe with a series of parameters one of which being the password.The password had a % symbol in it which caused the dts a problem as it reads the % as being the start of an environment variable.Solved the problem by just doing the task in an ActiveX script instead
