hello all.
I used this procedure for export to xml file:
alter PROC makeXML
AS
DECLARE @myXml xml,@SQL nvarchar(max)
SET @myXml = (SELECT * FROM QMS_QmsBase FOR XML AUTO)
SET @SQL= 'bcp "exec @myXml" QUERY OUT f:\azizi\filename.xml -w -r -t -SNik-Azizi -T'
EXEC Master..xp_CmdShell @SQL
but get this error:
Procedure expects parameter 'command_string' of type 'varchar'
how to solve this error?thanks

change @SQL to varchar(max) instead of nvarchar(max)
Also dont use *, you should use the columns names.
Also on that remeber that * is a CMD wildcard like % is in SQL so even more reason to use column names just incase it throws a wobbler at you.

Missed one thing, the MyXML variable will need to be varchar too
SO you might as well just do the following
DECLARE @SQL varchar(max)
SET @SQL= 'bcp "SELECT column_names FROM QMS_QmsBase FOR XML AUTO" QUERY OUT f:\azizi\filename.xml -w -r -t -SNik-Azizi -T'
EXEC Master..xp_CmdShell @SQL

i use this:
alter PROC makeXML
AS
DECLARE @myXml xml,@SQL varchar(max)
SET @myXml = (SELECT QMS_QmsBaseName FROM QMS_QmsBase FOR XML AUTO)
--SET @SQL= 'bcp "exec @myXml" QUERY OUT f:\azizi\filename.xml -w -r -t -SNik-Azizi -T'
EXEC Master..xp_CmdShell 'bcp "exec @myXml" QUERY OUT f:\azizi\filename.xml -w -r -t -SNik-Azizi -T'
--exec makeXML
and solve previouse error but sp doesnot work and result of its:
Copy direction must be either 'in', 'out' or 'format'.
usage: bcp {dbtable | query} {in | out | queryout | format} datafile
[-m maxerrors] [-f formatfile] [-e errfile]
[-F firstrow] [-L lastrow] [-b batchsize]
[-n native type] [-c character type] [-w wide character type]
[-N keep non-text native] [-V file format version] [-q quoted identifier]
[-C code page specifier] [-t field terminator] [-r row terminator]
[-i inputfile] [-o outfile] [-a packetsize]
[-S server name] [-U username] [-P password]
[-T trusted connection] [-v version] [-R regional enable]
[-k keep null values] [-E keep identity values]
[-h "load hints"] [-x generate xml format file]
[-d database name]
NULL
now.how do i do?

Well if MyXML is already the output you want to pump out to a file, you dont need to exec it, you need to select it as there will be nothing to execute.
Query Out is one word not two, QUERYOUT
