Michael must have the day off. Lucky guy!
My 2 cents.
1) all this is is bcp telling you that it truncated a character field to
make it fit in the corresponding column. It's an annoying warning -
but nonetheless only a warning. The row is transferred.
2) there you go! I tell no lies.
3) okay.
4) Well. I can't vouch for the onager factor but that seems like a
reasonable action to take not knowing otherwise.
5) Now you've done it. More columns? strange.
Conclusion. If you dare use Sybase::Xfer.pm it'll report the offending
row/column that is too long. Otherwise, I think you can tell sybase to
put the offending rows in an error file (-e switch) then you'll have to
eyeball the character data to see which column got truncated.
Cheers,
Steve

sainar :Dear Sybperl gurus,
sainar :
sainar :I have Perl 5.6 running on NT and am using Sybperl 2.13. My Sybase version is 12.0 installed on my very own machine.
sainar :
sainar :I have compiled and installed sybperl and am trying to use its BCP facility from within Perl.
sainar :
sainar :What is happening is the following:
sainar :1) I get a slew of DB Library warnings as follows:
sainar :"DB-Library error: Attempt to bulk-copy an oversized row to the SQL Server."
sainar :
sainar :2) I check the database and see that all the rows have actually been inserted.
sainar :
sainar :3) I ran in debug mode and put in a call back and noticed that all of the rows have a in them at the end. (I used the default RECORD_SEPARATOR)
sainar :
sainar :4) Thinking that I was an ass for not having remembered that I am on an NT box, I changed the RECORD_SEPARATOR = '\r\n'.
sainar :
sainar :5) Now I got the following error: "More columns passed to bcp_sendrow than were allocated with bcp_meminit at d:/Pe
sainar :rl/site/lib/Sybase/BCP.pm line 512, chunk 1."
sainar :
sainar :So please help me gurus. What am I doing wrong? I would prefer to load without any spurious errors.

sainar :Sai
