Hi,

Well the issues we are encountering are different and as James said, the
latest patch should address the initial issue of the fixed test output.

The issue one of my teams reported is that if there is a column in the file
that does not get imported into the table, then it fails. The faulty
procedure is _bcp_readfmt_colinfo which fails because TAB_COLNUM is not
present in that case.

Any ideas before I start implementing a fix?

Thanks,

Cedric

I think -- I expect! -- that if you install the latest snapshot you'll see
the behavior is corrected.  From ChangeLog:

Fri Jul 10 14:01:28 EDT 2009    JK Lowden <jklowden AT freetds.org>
        * src/dblib/bcp.c pad nullable CHAR written to hostfile.

See the ML discussion around that time.
