Is there any way to bcp/bulk insert a csv file that has a field that is sometimes empty. Sometimes there is a value within quotes like "216" and sometimes there is nothing. When I try to bcp I get an error. The following is a sample of the data. The 4th field is causing me the issue. Thanks.

"P","L","1","4","C","C","9","6"
"J","J","2",,"C","C","9","9"
"C","P","1","2","C","C","9",""
"S","B","5",,"C","C","9","6"
