I created a dts package that i execute from a job.

my goal is to:
1. create a dts package to import 4 text files into 4 staging tables
2. create a job
a step1 delete old data from 4 staging areas
delete from center_stage
delete from lfcch_stage
delete from lic_exempt_stage
delete from sfcch_stage

b step2 execute dts package and bring new data into
staging areas
DTSRun /S sql2000 /U sa /N NLS
c step3 interogate data and insert it into provider table.

The reason i place the data into 4 staging tables is to keep a copy of it before moving it into the provider table.

My problems is that i get the following message:

WARNING : The following job step(s)cannot be reached with the current flow logic:
[2] step 2

Note: The On Success action of the last Step will be changed from 'Goto Next Step' to 'Quit with Success'.

Are you sure this is what you want?

I went back in and change the first step to
step1 Goto Next Step
step2 Quit with success

It works but why does it give me that error message??
Should i worry about that?

Sounds like you created the job to start at step 1 with step 1 quitting on success and step 3 going to next step on success.

Changing it to
step 1 goto next step
step 2 goto next step
step 3 quit

all on success is what you probably want.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You should strongly consider truncating those four staging tables instead of deleting from them to avoid unnecessary transaction logging.
