When I run TestDB.dbo.ia_ReportUser in QA

I have a result set(4 column)

Then i do it

declare @cmd varchar(8000)

set @cmd= 'bcp "TestDB.dbo.ia_ReportUser" queryout "C:\TEMP1\2255212.csv" -c -t"," -T -S '+@@servername

Are the double quotes around the field terminator necessary?

t"," ---. t,

How are you checking the end result? I hope not with Excel...

I don't know, why i did double quotes, I find this example in internet, but this script work well and it download resul set in csv file

declare @cmd varchar(8000)

set @cmd= 'bcp "exec TestDB.dbo.ReportYaerd" queryout "C:\TEMP1\2255212.csv" -c -t";" -T -S '+@@servername

exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd

But title of resul set misses in csv file/

For example

exec TestDB.dbo.ReportYaerd

result set

Id Date UserID

1 20010101 125

When I download this in exel wity top scritp/ the result next

1 20010101 125

But I want to download capture

Id Date UserID

Right, you changed the delimiter from , to ;

The regional settings of Excel determine which delimiter .csv uses. That's why it is a bad idea to use Excel to check the output of a .csv extract.

(there are many other reasons)

bcp doesn't have headers by default. You can either do a UNION ALL query to append the header as the first row to your result set, or you can do the export with PowerShell:
