Q:

SQL Server : BCP not outputting a text file but runs

I have the following code which compiles and runs with results in the viewer in SQL Server but the output file does not get generated. I do know that BCP works on my server with simple SQL statements but I can't get it to produce the file with this SQL statement. Anyone know why this is not working for me? I continually get the usage and parameters listing, but no output report or output file.

A:

The query is too long. I think you are restricted to 4000 characters. I make yours 4753. Try creating a view and then doing select * from the view.
