SYMPTOMS

If you use the bulk copy program (BCP) utility from Microsoft SQL Server for Mips processors, it generates the following application error if the password is not specified on the command line:

   The memory could not be "read".

The following command line duplicates the application error when you run the BCP utility from Microsoft SQL Server for Mips:

WORKAROUND

Specify the login password with the /P parameter.
