Greetings,

I am trying to bcp in data into a table from inside a perl script.
Though the data gets inserted into the table but still I am getting
following error :

sh: Starting: execute permission denied
sh: 8: execute permission denied
sh: syntax error at line 4: `(' unexpected
sh: Starting: execute permission denied
sh: 8: execute permission denied
sh: syntax error at line 4: `(' unexpected

Code looks like :

sub bcp_data{

print "bcp $dest_table in $file_out -c -t '|' -U $source_username -P
$source_passwd -S $source_server -e $log \n";
my $returncode = `bcp $dest_table in $file_out -c -t "|" -U
$source_username -P $source_passwd -S $source_server -e $log`; #
backticks
system "$returncode";
exec "$returncode";
}


TIA.

Regards,
Rajpreet

These errors come form you shell (hint: it starts with 'sh:'). Are you
trying to run you perl script with /bin/sh?

Did you start you script with '#! /usr/bin/perl'?

//Makholm

My script starts like #!/opt/local/perl/bin/perl .

Sorry, wrong answers.

You're trying to execute the content of $returncode as a
shellscript. To debug problems with doing this you might want to print
the content of $returncode.

I tried printing the contents and everything works fine. Even if I try
doing BCP in from comand prompt with the printed value, it works fine
without any error. Problem comes only while running from within the
perl script.
Pl suggest.

Yes, I got your point Makholm.

Thanks a lot! It works now.
