We are using BCP to export some data from SQL using BCP to a tab-delimitted text file. In fields where values are null, we are seeing a character that looks like "#9733;" (a small square looking character). How can we get rid of it?

Thanks

The square just means it's not displayable.
Can you post an example. a table script with a few rows and the bcp statement to export.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
