Problem using GLobal Variables in DTS Package

Hello,

I use SQL 2K on a Win2K box

I have created a DTS package, the data source is a stored procedure with an
integer for the only parameter like:

exec myproc intparm

When I have a literal for the parm, it runs fine. When I replace the number
with a question mark, I get this message:

No value given for one or more required parameters

I get this message when I try the Preview button, but the Parse Query
returns success.

If I save the package & execute it, it fails and I get the message:

Invalid character value for cast specification

I have created a global variable called FI_ID, set it to be an "INT", and
given it an initial value of "1" (one), without the quotes. I hae assigned
this to the parameter.

The source connection for the transformation uses Microsoft OLE DB Provider
for SQL Server, the destonation is a CSV file, so there is only one
transformation for all of the fields returned by the stored proc.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
