How to get the return/execution value of a package from a parent?

Hi there,

I'm trying to get the return value of a package. I see there is a ForcedExecutionValue property which I set using an expression (variable). What I'm executing are 2 packages, Package1 contains an Execute Package Task that calls Package 2. Package 2 contains a Script Task that sets the value of variable Max. I want to get the value of Max in Package 1 then how can I do this?

My first approach is toset the return value of Package 2 = Max and then I thought I could retrieve this value from Package 1 but I'm not able to do that yet.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help!The way I would approach this is to use a Script Task (surprise, surprise) to load and execute the package instead of the Execute Package Task. Your script has the ability to read the child packages variables after it has executed, thus allowing child variables to be passed back to the parent.

Alternatively, you can also have the child package set the parent's variable directly.

Yes, I did the first approach and it worked fine. I'm loading the package from a Script Task and getting the Executables.Count and store this value in a local variable.

Thanks for the suggestion!.
