title: SSIS expressions using ODBC
body: <p>I'm trying to execute a query against an ODBC source using an Execute SQL Task. This is my statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"select * from RoomType where zz__Timestamp_Modification_UTC__lcm &gt;=  TIMESTAMP '" +@[User::LastJobRunDateTimeUtc]+ "'"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in expression builder when I press "Evaluate Expression" button I get this error:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NeGOI.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NeGOI.png" alt="error message"></a></p>
  
  <p>I've tried various escape characters but nothing is working. I found a post or two on this like this one. From what I can see I'm doing the same thing.
