Custom labels for DTS steps

Hi,
we have DTS packages which call other DTS packages, sometimes a few levels
deep.
In our error logs out DTS steps are labelled like
"DTSStep_DTSExecutePackageTask_4"
Is there a way to give our DTS steps custom labels so that it'll be easier
to work out which dts and which step has failed?

ThanksYes you can, and should do this...
Open your package and right click in the white space, go to Disconnected
Edit... There you can change the names of the Tasks and Steps... Be careful
tho,,, Change the Task name, then you have to go to the step which calls the
task, and change the taskname there to match... While there, you can also
change the Step name...
Save a copy before messing with this... It's easy to mess up..
