I am trying to find a task that just outputs a simple string. Te Set Variable Task is more than what I need. I just need a string output. That's it.

Am I just missing something glaringly obvious?

Hi Nautius,

What you can do is using an 'Execute task'.

Command: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Arguments: /c echo YOURTEXTGOESHERE AND HERE

That should output: YOURTEXTGOESHERE AND HERE

You can alo use variables after the echo statement to show the contents of them.

Regards,
Erik

Like eric said, or you can also 'cheat' by using the database

I am currently using the SQL task. I was hoping for something a little more simplistic.

Ok, thanks for the responses!

I did not think of the SQL task. Also a good one!
Thanks for sharing.

I think easiest way is to use the default values in the .NET code Task:

using System;

public class Test
{
 public static string SayHello()
 {
     return "Hello world";
 }
}
