Have a file of EBCDIC data that I want to load into a SQL table. Each logical record is 247 in length. i want to read 247 bytes from the file and load as a row into my generic varbinary(4000) column. I cannot get the syntax correct for the format file.
CREATE TABLE File1_bankway
(
Field1 varbinary(4000)
)
BULK INSERT bank85.dbo.File1_bankway FROM 'C:\temp\aaacctt.txt'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:\Temp\Format.xml')
FORMAT FILE
<?xml version="1.0"?>
