OSQL & SQL Server 2005

Is OSQL compatible with 2005??

I am getting very messed up output in my file when I run OSQL on 2005... lots of blank lines and dashed lines.

If I run on 2000, it's fine...

what's the problem?

Thanks

sqlcmd!

If you are exporting from SQL, then osql and sqlcmd would not be the correct tool to use. You'll want to use the bcp application to export the data.
