SSIS Text was truncated with status value 4

I am developing a SSIS package, trying to update an existing SQL table from a CSV flat file. All of the columns are successfully updating except for one column. If I ignore this column on truncate, my package completes successfully. So I know this is a truncate problem and not error.

This column is empty for almost every row. However, there are a few rows where this field is 200-300 characters. My data conversion task identified this field as a DT_WSTR, but from what I've read elsewhere maybe this should be DT_NTEXT. I've tried both and I even set the DT_WSTR to 500. But none of this fixed my problem. How can I fix? What data type should this column be in my SQL table?

Error: 0xC02020A1 at Data Flow Task 1, Source - Berkeley812_csv [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Reason for Delay in Transition" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".

A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

I've had this problem before, you can go to "advanced" tab of "choose a data source" page and click on "suggested types" button, and set the "number of rows" as much as you want. after that, the type and text qualified are set to the true values.

i applied the above solution and can convert my data to SQL.

In my case, some of my rows didn't have the same number of columns as the header. Example, Header has 10 columns, and one of your rows has 8 or 9 columns. (Columns = Count number of you delimiter characters in each line)

I have same problem, and it is due to a column with very long data. When I map it, I changed it from DT_STR to Text_Stream, and it works
