BCP

Hi
I am trying to do a bulk insert of a minimum of 77000 records from a flat
file using the bcp utility. When I run the utility (in a batch process) only
46214 records go into the table. No errors are registered for the same.
Does the utility have some sort of data or time limit? If so, how do I
bypass/increase this?
It looks like there is an EOF character at the end of the faulty record.
Have you try to open the flat file in a arich editor to locate the record
and check if there were something wierd wit it compare with others?
Have you tried to split your flat file in 2 at the faulty record and try to
load it having it on top?
You can batch the amout of record bcp will load but that does not look to be
the problem, benn loading much more bigger files than that in the past with
no problem. Most of the time the file is bad.
Hope this helps
