Bcp in problem

Is it possible that there is something in your data file
that is causing bcp to think that it has reached an EOF
marker?
Something else you can try is using the -F option to
specify which is the first row to start importing, and
maybe setting this value to 1 million or maybe even 2
million and see what happens.
This should help to eliminate the possibility that there
is something wrong with the data file at that point in
the file where it seems to stop.
I hope that this helps.

Will update once done.
Thank you all for your inputs.
