hello,
i normally use the ltrim and rtrim function and delimit the data with a pipe "|"...
i'm assuming you are trying to get a bcp out 'look'...
if so use the following:
use databaseName
go
select ltrim(rtrim(convert(char(10),numericColumnName)))+"|"+
ltrim(rtrim(charColumnName1))+"|"+
ltrim(rtrim(charColumnName2))
from tableName
go
hth,
q.
