Guys ,

I have generated a pipe delimited file using bcp option.
I am getting the ouput for some columns as some some special characters(boxes). When ,I have checked my source data in few columns the data is stored with single space.I can see this special character when opening with editplus only not with notepad.

This flat file will be used to load into oracle table.because of this reason all the rows are failing.

Do ,I need to fix this space issue in my stored procedure

Any suggestions.. to avoid this special character when generating the flatfile.

thanks in advance

Hi,
I could not get what you asking for. The logic of sp and/or sample data will help to find the solution.

Cheers,
