I am using DTS to export a table to a comma seperated file. It appears that the export is truncating fields to 255 characters. I am not using BCP because I need a double quote text qualifier (pretty sure, I can't specify text qualifiers in BCP).

Any thoughts? I checked all DTS settings (properties has noting regarding field size, also verified that in the "Transorm Data Task", the destination field is set to 512). Could this be an ODBC setting issue?

Thanks,

jack
