dts transform task failing when using IBM db2 odbc driver..

The thing is I am using a DTS package to get data from db2 residing on a s390-mainframe and put it in a sql 2000 db on windows 2000 server..

I have the odbc driver that the server guys gave me..I installed it and then run a batch pgm, which i think does the database set up...in short i set up the DSN's in my local machine..I can use the dsn when i use the sql client...

I can't create a new package and then complete the task..Problem is when i try set up a transform task, i get a memory error...it says that the instruction referenced a memory location that can't be read...

So what i do is i use the import task in sql...which inturn uses the same odbc connection and runs the query on db2..inserts the results into a table in sql..then save the package...Only problem is that i can't edit the transorm task...same memory error...

Any idea why this happens ?? I would like to see how i can get past this using Odbc...What version of the driver are you using? IBM posts hotfixes and patches on their website for their drivers; you may be able to find a fix for the one you are using.

In particular I remember a hotfix for their AS/400 V5R1 driver that fixed an issue I was having.
