Print out your code and "bench test" it. Using a pencil trace your way through the various pieces of logic in the code for particular values of the variables. Make sure also that every path through the logic assignes a value to the variable called VAL.

Can you write to a text file, rather than to SQL Server, and at least isolate the hang behaviour to source or target? Then, maybe, a job to read that text file and insert into SQL Server, to eliminate interaction between the databases as a cause? Is there anything that might be locking a row or tabl...

Once you get version 8, you can compare two versions of, say, a job right there on the canvas, and the report contains hyperlinks to the location of all differences found. Magic!

There are many versions of the ODBC standard. It is a Microsoft standard. The ODBC Enterprise stage documentation (in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide) suggests that it is compliant with version 3.5 of the ODBC standard - read the manual for more detailed information about the grammar and API.
