Reverse(Right(Reverse((DT_WSTR, 29) GETDATE()),10)) Thanks for the post, though I am really annoyed why MS decided not to use simple convert and cast in SSIS, also “LEFT” is not available, I just needed YYYY-MM-DD format and I had to use two “REVERSE” and a “RIGHT” to achieve what I could have achieved out of one “LEFT”.

I've been going out of my mind for hours trying to get this format. Stupid error messages when trying to use the convert function in an SSIS package are really annoying!!!!
