BCP Utility with null values

Hi all,
I am using BCP to output from a table that has some empty values into a
flat file. I noticed that when I try to use BCP to upload the flat
file into an exact replica of the table in another server I get an
error due to restrictions on that table that does not allow null
values. I think what is happening is that BCP convert empty values
into null during the output process and when trying to upload the value
I get the error.
Is there a way to go around the fact that BCP is converting empty
values to NULL or should I be using a different process to upload the
data from one server into another. Also, I don't have the option to
connect to the remote server from any of them hence the reason why I am
using BCP.
Thank you very much.
Ron.Hi Ron
What options are you specifying on the BCP command? This should be ok and
you should not get conversions.
