Prompt and pass parameter to a SSIS job

I have a SQL statement that I run manually each day and have to change one or more pieces of information such as the date when I run it.

The results of the statement generates a "|" delimited file.

Is it possible to set this up as an SSIS that will prompt for parameters?

Thanks

If I have a SQL statement that has a where statement that selects based on a particular country code I want the job to display a prompt asking to enter the country code and when the user enters the code the statement will run and generate a file based on the country code entered.

Are you planning on installing SSIS on every users workstation? That could be a lot of licenses.

No, only a couple of users need to run this process.

Thanks for the feedback.

I asked the question more as "could it be done" before I determined if that was a direction to go.

Clearly from your comments this is not the best approach to my issue.

A simple .NET app will will be a much better solution.

Thanks again!

Absolutely. SSIS packages are for the most part best left unattended.
