Using osql, I'm getting a syntax error but don't know why

[Drumsticks]

Hello,

I'm attempting to deploy an alter procedure script across databases. However, I can't figure out what the problem is with the syntax error.

Thank you for your assistance,
Drumsticks

I have replaced my username and password with dummy credentials in the osql script.

osql -Umyusername -Pmypassword -SCOMPANY1\DB1 -dCCS < "c:\users\Drumsticks\My Documents\Business\compa\alter_pClassEvent.sql"

The result is the following:
1> 2> 3> ... 158> Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server COMPANY1\DB1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ' '.

Is this error due to something within the sql file or does this indicate something wrong with the actual osql script?

Below is the script contained in the file:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

Try using -Q instead of < for script. The error may be on line 158 of the script.

Thank you for your reply, skhanal.

As soon as I typed this question, I found the answer about 5 minutes later, but I was not able to revoke the post because it was marked for approval status.

However, in case your curious, the answer to my issue was changing the encoding type of the sql file executed in the osql command. I changed the encoding type of the sql file to "Western European (Windows) - Codepage 1252" and it then the osql fired perfectly.

Below is the link where I stumbled upon the answer.

Thanks again!
