Scenario:
Some time we have requirement to send email with MonthName or dayName in the subject,
Create folder with Month Name and then Archive files e.g. Archive_Dec_2011.
Solution:
We don't have MonthName or DayName in SSIS
we can create two variables in our package and write expression on them to use them whereever we need MonthName and DayName.
Step1:
Lets create VarDayName and VarMonthName variables in our package as show in picture.
![]()
Step2:
Go to the properties of VarDayName variable and then configure as shown in picture
![]()
Expressions:
Step3:
Go to the properties of DayMonthName variable and configure as show in picture.
![]()
Expressions:
Now you have Month Name and DayName available through these two variables ,
Those can be used in expression with different transformations as required.

Expressions:
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==1? "Sunday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==2?"Monday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==3?"Tuesday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==4?"Wednesday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==5?"Thursday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==6?"Friday":
DATEPART("dw",GETDATE())==7?"Saturday":""
Step3:
Go to the properties of DayMonthName variable and configure as show in picture.
Expressions:
(MONTH(getdate()) == 1 ? "Jan" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 2 ? "Feb" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 3 ? "Mar" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 4 ? "Apr" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 5 ? "May" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 6 ? "Jun" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 7 ? "Jul" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 8 ? "Aug" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 9 ? "Sep" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 10 ? "Oct" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 11 ? "Nov" :
MONTH(getdate()) == 12? "Dec":"")
Now you have Month Name and DayName available through these two variables ,
Those can be used in expression with different transformations as required.
