BCP Function sequence error when running proc with parameters

  • I have been trying to create a stored procedure that uses dynamic SQL to assemble a bcp command to export data from a parameterized stored procedure to a csv file.

    Was originally getting the host data file access issue that I think was filesystem permissions.

    Now I consistantly get the fillowing error when I run the proc:

    SQLState = S1010, NativeError = 0

    Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Function sequence error

    The proc code is as follows:

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_MakeMarketingListExports]

    @includeInService varchar(1) = NULL,

    @includeMLM varchar(1) = NULL,

    @includeQuoteNoodle varchar(1) = NULL,

    @netective varchar(1) = NULL,

    @cyberChex varchar(1) = NULL,

    @agentsAdvantage varchar(1) = NULL,

    @quoteNoodle varchar(1) = NULL,

    @mlmListSubscriber varchar(1) = NULL,

    @state varchar(10) = NULL,

    @mailerID varchar(10) = NULL,

    @filePath varchar(250)

    AS

    BEGIN

    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

    -- interfering with SELECT statements.

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    DECLARE @command varchar(500);

    SET @command = 'bcp "exec InternalML..sp_SelectMarketingListMembers '

    + '@includeInService = ' + COALESCE(@includeInService, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@includeMLM = ' + COALESCE(@includeMLM, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@includeQuoteNoodle = ' + COALESCE(@includeQuoteNoodle, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@netective = ' + COALESCE(@netective, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@cyberChex = ' + COALESCE(@cyberChex, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@agentsAdvantage = ' + COALESCE(@agentsAdvantage, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@quoteNoodle = ' + COALESCE(@quoteNoodle, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@mlmListSubscriber = ' + COALESCE(@mlmListSubscriber, 'NULL') + ', '

    + '@state = ' + COALESCE(@state, 'NULL') + '"'

    + ' queryout ' + COALESCE(@filePath, 'NULL')

    + ' -c -T -S ' + @@servername

    SELECT @command;

    EXEC xp_cmdshell @command;

    END

    I use the SELECT @command to get the assembled command for analysis.

    Have had the parameter names for the calle proc included so the command came out like:

    bcp "exec InternalML..sp_SelectMarketingListMembers @includeInService = NULL, @includeMLM = NULL, @includeQuoteNoodle = NULL, @netective = NULL, @cyberChex = NULL, @agentsAdvantage = NULL, @quoteNoodle = NULL, @mlmListSubscriber = NULL, @state = NULL" queryout C:\temp\test.csv -c -T -S SPKD18

    Also did it without the parameter names with the same Function sequenc error message:

    bcp "exec InternalML.dbo.sp_SelectMarketingListMembers NULL, NUL

    L, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, @state = NULL" queryout "C:\\temp\test.cs

    v" -c -T -S SPKD18

    Any insight on why this is not working? BTW, I have run the bcp via the proc and copied it to a command prompt with the same results. The problem is that I can't find much on the internet about this error, probably because it is so generic.

    Thanks for the help

  • FYI, this seemed a simple enough solution. However, with the lack of information out there I have abandoned this method and am doing the export via SSRS. Only took 5 minutes or so to create the report layout.

    No idea why it didn't occur to me earlier.

    Thanks for looking at the post. It looks like quite a few were willing to help if they could.
