bcp provides two command line options that create files with frequently used default formats. These options provide the easiest way to copy data in and out from a SAP ASE server.
The -n option uses “native” (operating system) formats.
The -c option uses “character” (char datatype) for all columns. This datatype supplies tabs between fields on a row and a newline terminator, such as a carriage return, at the end of each row.
When you use the native or character options, bcp operates noninteractively and only asks you for your SAP ASE password.
