Using SQL Server 2008 R2, BIDS, to create a SSIS package.

I'm trying to use a variable to define the length for one of my script component outputs in my data flow.

Obviously this doesn't work. I'm wondering if there is a workaround so I don't have to hard code that length.

No, you can't put variables there. Normally you will know the length for the columns (from business, database schema, etc). Otherwise, put a big enough safe size.
