Home Forums SQL Server 7,2000 T-SQL BCP error -Unable to open BCP host data-file RE: BCP error -Unable to open BCP host data-file

  • Hi,

    I am trying to execute

    exec Master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "Select _Id_ from PM.dbo._TST_" queryout "C:\_ID_Test.txt" -c -U SA -P AA112233** -S MYLAP\SQLEXPRESS'

    Gives an Output

    SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0

    Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Unable to open BCP host data-file

    NULL

    The Same Statement when I execute from cmd prompt

    bcp "Select _Id_ from PM.dbo._TST_" queryout "C:\_ID_Test.txt" -c -U SA -P AA112233** -S MYLAP\SQLEXPRESS

    Gives the Output

    Starting copy...

    4 rows copied.

    Network packet size (bytes): 4096

    Clock Time (ms.) Total : 94 Average : (42.55 rows per sec.)

    Where am I going wrong...
