I found the script on the web to bcp out multiple tables and am trying to change it so that I can export certain tables.
a) Add the -b switch when I add it, I get an error
b) Get the count of rows and insert into a log table
c) Get the tables name and file name
I keep getting the following error that I should declare variable "@tblname. Is it the exec statement thats causing this ?
Msg 1087, Level 15, State 2, Procedure prc_BcpOut, Line 49
Must declare the table variable "@tblname".
Msg 121, Level 15, State 1, Procedure prc_BcpOut, Line 51
The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns.

You cannot do this:
[font="Courier New"]SELECT @Rows = COUNT(*) FROM @tblname[/font]
To do this, @tblname would have to be a table variable. In your case, it is a varchar that represents the name of the table you want to count. To do this, you need to use dynamic SQL (EXEC() or sp_execute_SQL).

As stated above, the parser must be able to resolve the table at compile time. So variables must be declared table variables or a name given.
You can
exec(' select * from ' + @tablename)
or you need to select * from MyTable, and have the tables built in the script.
