Dataexport to a relational table directly

Question

Hi,
I am struggling to get the dataexport to directly add the data to the relational table.
Have tried a bit and still failing.
I have changed the fix in my calc script to just return a row but still failing. Here's my script which just returns one row in the text file shown below, but when I do dsn it never inserts the row to the sql table( my sql table has 21 columns and I have set them as varchar)
Any ideas on how I can get it to work?
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DATAEXPORTDECIMAL 1;
DataExportLevel "LEVEL0";
DATAEXPORTOVERWRITEFILE ON;
DataExportColFormat ON;
DATAEXPORTCOLHEADER "Periods";
FIX("FY2011","Budget","Version1",FixedAssets,"Amount","622185","3011","BU_None" ,@LEVMBRS(Periods,0) AND @DESCENDANTS(Annual,0),@LEVMBRS(Currencies,0));
DATAEXPORT "File" "|" "BEAMtext2.txt";
/*DATAEXPORT "DSN" "bfp" "ClaritydataCS.dbo.BEAM_Output_Budget" "bfpcssql" "pBaUsDsGwEoTrd123";*/
ENDFIX;
Output
"M1"|"M2"|"M3"|"M4"|"M5"|"M6"|"M7"|"M8"|"M9"|"M10"|"M11"|"M12"
"VERSION1"|"FixedAssets"|"Budget"|"USD"|"3011"|"622185"|"BU_None"|"Amount"|"FY2011"|274861.9|274861.9|274860.6|274860.6|274859.1|274675.0|274673.0|274672.6|274661.0|274655.7|274631.6|274631.3
which is basically the 9 dimensions and 12 values for all 12 months

When using the DATAEXPORT command to export data for direct insertion into a relational database:
● The table to which the data is to be written must exist prior to data export
● Table and column names cannot contain spaces
Check with the below syntax.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DATAEXPORTDECIMAL 1;
DataExportLevel "LEVEL0";
DATAEXPORTCOLHEADER "Periods";
FIX("FY2011","Budget","Version1",FixedAssets,"Amount","622185","3011","BU_None" ,@LEVMBRS(Periods,0) AND @DESCENDANTS(Annual,0),@LEVMBRS(Currencies,0));
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "bfp" "ClaritydataCS.dbo.BEAM_Output_Budget" "bfpcssql" "pBaUsDsGwEoTrd123";
ENDFIX;
