Help with BCP!

Hi,
I am creating a text file using bcp in SQL2000. When I open the text
file which was created the =A3 sign has been replaced with something
else. WHen I look at the results in a query, the pound sign is there,
it's only when bcp'd to a text file.
It is running on Windows 2003 Server.
ANy help would be appreciated.This is a char, varchar, or text code page issue. The ascii value for pPound
sterling is 163m, which is greater than 127. If you don't want any
conversation, try to use -C RAW on the bcp command line.

Thanks for your response. I have tried setting the '=A3' to CHAR(163)
within the view, and the BCP is set to -c but still no joy. Could it
be something to do with the character set of the Server? as I am in
the UK, but it seems not to recognise '=A3', as if it is in America
ascii set.

Linchi, scrap that last reply, I wasn't adding -C RAW coorectly. It
worked a dream. Thank you very much for your answer. Much
appreciated.
