Explanation

In SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), variable data types include DateTime, which can directly accept standard date and time string formats like 2007-08-21 02:00 AM.

AI explanation

SSIS's built-in variable types don't let you type a combined date-and-time literal directly in the variable's default value editor beyond a plain datetime assignment in some cases, so the reliable way to set a precise date-time value like 2007-08-21 02:00 AM is to pass the datetime variable into a Script Component and construct/assign the full value (date plus time) in code. This gives full control over both the date and time parts together.
