"A row that cannot be copied by the bcp utility is ignored and is counted as one error. If this option is not included, the default is 10." The -e argument specifies the file that the data is stored in that bcp cannot write to the output file. The bcp utility is reporting the error to the DOS environment. Run bcp from a DOS script and capture/write the error from the DOS environment. share|improve this answer answered Sep 28 '10 at 14:20 Chris Gallucci 555 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post

with the bcp Command-line Utility 10 December 2009Working with the bcp Command-line UtilityEven though there are many other ways to get data into a database, nothing works quite as fast as BCP, once it is set up with the right parameters and format file. Despite its usefulness, the art of using the command-line utility has always seemed more magic than method; but now along comes Robert Sheldon to shed light on the murky details. 194 28 Robert Sheldon The bcp utility is a command-line tool that uses the Bulk Copy Program (BCP) API to bulk copy data between an instance of SQL Server and a data file. By using the utility, you can export data from a SQL Server database into a data file, import data from a data file into a SQL Server database, and generate format files that support importing and exporting operations. To use the bcp utility to perform these tasks, you can run a bcp command (along with the appropriate arguments) at a Command Prompt window. The command should conform to the following syntax:> 1234 bcp {table|view|"query"} {out|queryout|in|format} {data_file|nul} {[optional_argument]...} As you can see, a bcp command requires three arguments. The first (table|view|"query") represents the data source or destination in a SQL Server database. You can use the bcp utility to export data from a table or view or through a query. If you specify a query, you must enclose it in quotation marks. In addition, you can import data into a table or view. If you import into a view, all columns within the view must reference a single table. (Note that, when you specify a table or view, you must qualify the name with the database or schema names as necessary.) The second argument in a bcp command (out|queryout|in|format) determines the command's mode (direction). When you run a bcp command, you must specify one of the following four modes: out: The command exports data from a table or view into a data file. queryout: The command exports data retrieved through a query into a data file. in: The command imports data from a data file into a table or view. format: The command creates a format file based on a table or view. (Format files are explained later in the article.) The third argument in a bcp command (data_file|nul) is the full path of the data file or, when a data file should not be specified, the nul value. If you're importing data, you must specify the file that contains the source data. If you're exporting data, you must specify the file that the data will be copied to. (If the file does not exist, it will be created.) When
