You really should be using oSql not iSql unless you are only using 7.0. In
any case check out hte -n parameter of oSql.

isql printing prompts to its output

Hi,

I am trying to run isql with some script on its input, and I am getting
something like 1>2>3>
at the beginning of the output. I suspect these are isql prompts, but I
don't need them in my output.
How should I suppress their printing ? I could not find an obvious way.
Thank you in advance for your replies.

Thanks for your reply, we have just discovered that by ourselves.
In SQL2000 docs, this parameter is indeed mentioned in isql/osql doc
pages,
but is not explained anywhere afterwards.
So this discovery required a bit of guessing.
