sql server dts:
I'm using BCP with queryout and exporting data from a table to a .csv file. Using this as a template it works fine but is there anyway to get the column headings along with the data. I'm using this method because I can create different output filenames. I have a DTS to do this but I can't get Global Variables to work creating different filenames. DECLARE @FileName varchar(50), @bcpCommand varchar(2000) SET @FileName = REPLACE('c:\authors_'+CONVERT(char(8),GETDATE(),1)+'.txt','/','-') SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp "SELECT * FROM pubs..authors ORDER BY au_lname" queryout "' SET @bcpCommand = @bcpCommand + @FileName + '" -T -c' PRINT @bcpCommand

Unfortunately not, AFAIK bcp will not generate the column names for you. There may be something you could do with a view and a
union though. -- Allan Mitchell MCSE,MCDBA, (Microsoft SQL Server MVP) www.SQLDTS.com - The site for all your DTS needs. www.SQLIS.com - SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. www.Konesans.com [quoted text, click to view] "Hoosbruin" <Hoosbruin@Kconline.com> wrote in message news:eNedndU-MvKLKO7fRVn-gA@kconline.com... > > That would work > > much thanks !!!!!!! > > Would there be anyway to get COLUMN headings with this scenario... > > > "Allan Mitchell" <allan@no-spam.sqldts.com> wrote in message news:eWk%23jzYTFHA.2420@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... >> Would not something like this work. >> >> strCmdLine = "bcp ""SELECT * FROM pubs..authors ORDER BY au_lname"" queryout ""c:\MyFile" + >> REPLACE(DTSGlobalVariables("DateVariable").Value,"/","") + ".txt"" - . -T -c" >> >> >> -- >> >> Allan Mitchell MCSE,MCDBA, (Microsoft SQL Server MVP) >> www.SQLDTS.com - The site for all your DTS needs. >> www.SQLIS.com - SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. >> www.Konesans.com >> >> >> "Hoosbruin" <Hoosbruin@Kconline.com> wrote in message news:wMydnb31X4_a4u7fRVn-ug@kconline.com... >>> I've tried to get this to work with no luck.

I've tried to get this to work with no luck. Can you give me a few snippets
of code to create multiple output files that each have dynamic names at execution.

That would work much thanks !!!!!!! Would there be anyway to get COLUMN headings with this scenario...

Would not something like this work.
