Hi,
I have a table in SQL server. This needs to be moved into mainframes. i'm are planning to BCP out as text file and FTP the same to Mainframe. But, the problem is, we are not able to get the desired format.
I tried using DTS, but it gives spaces between the columns. The requirement is there should not be any spaces between columns. And there are some fields which are integer and are to be converted into short int.
Can anyone let me know if there is any alternate to BCP which can help me in formatting?
Regards

There are ETL products available out there ... many are budget busters (expensive). In the past I have used a product called Informatica.

You might try creating an sql script that will format your selection and use it with OSQL and an output file.
