Job details in Query output

  • I have a T-SQL query that outputs exactly as I wish when run via Management Studio. I now want to automate this query to run monthly via a SQL Agent Job.

    I have got this to run but the resulting file is left with a header row which shows "Job 'MyJobName' : Step 1, 'My QUERY' : Began Executing 2015-05-01 10:52:01" and an extra blank row before my data (and column headers).

    Is there any way of stopping these extra rows from being created using T-SQL in my query?

    Thank you in advance

    Can you post your query code, not much one contribute to this without it.

  • many wanted to remove header from SQL Agent job step output file - all failed.

    you can convert job step to CmdExec and call osql -o, or to Integration Services Package, and export data from there.

    append CmdExec step to remove first 2 lines will be fine, too
