  We are using BCP to extract data from a table into a text file. Below is the BCP command. The problem is running it from different client machines gives us different date format in generated text file.

  bcp DBNAME.TABLENAME out %dir%\TABLENAME.dat /c /t "^" /S SERVERNAME /U USERNAME /P PASSWORD

  The date format on one client machine is simply yyyy-mm-dd, while on the other one is yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00.000. We checked the version of BCP on both clients are 8.00.194

  Thanks for any idea.
