Write Query Results into a text file

Question

Hello All,
In SAP B1 Query Generator I'm trying to write the results of a query into a text file (.txt). I've tryed with queryout but it doesn't work.
What I want is something like this:
SELECT * FROM TABLE queryout "C:/textfile.txt"
Any sugestions?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Barbosa

Hello All,
Since yesterday and due to your help, I've found how to solve my problem.
This post is only to share with you and with the others users of Expert Forums how to Write the results of an SQL Query in SAP Business One to a Text File without making it by exportation.
Requested Text File by customer:
Document type in R/3 If Invoice -- 'Z100' - Position 1 to 4 - 4 characters
Supplier Code -- dbo.Table.CardCode -- Position 5 to 15 - 10 characters
Item Code -- dbo.Table.ItemCode -- Position 11 to 25 - 14 characters
Client Code -- dbo.Table.CardCode -- Position 26 to 36 - 10 characters
Client Name -- dbo.Table.CardName -- Posiiton 37 to 100 - 63 characters
Fixed Blank Field -- ' ' -- Position 101 to 120 - 19 blank spaces
Quantity -- dbo.Table.Quantity -- Position 121 to 140 -- 19 characters
Unit Price -- dbo.Table.PriceBefDi -- Position 141 to 160 -- 19 characters
If Invoice Fixed identifier -- 'Z01' -- Position 161 to 163 -- 3 characters
Fixed Blank Field -- ' ' -- Position 164 to 220 -- 56 characters
Document Date -- dbo.Table.DocDate -- Position 221 to 229 - 8 characters
Delivery Date -- dbo.Table.ActDelDate -- Position 230 to 238 - 8 characters
Sales Order Number - dbo.Table.DocNum -- Position 239 to 260 - 21 characters
Delivery Number - dbo.Table.DocNum -- Position 261 to 282 - 21 characters
Follows the code:
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell'bcp
SELECT DISTINCT
''Z100''
+ ''ZP00002091''
+ IsNull(Convert(nVarChar(44), Cast(T0.DocNum As Numeric(38, 0))), '''')
+ ''PTAP''
+ ''          ''
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.U_NumConc)))) + SPACE(10-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.U_NumConc)))) + ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T3.BaseRef)))) + SPACE(10-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T3.BaseRef))))
+ ''                    ''
+ ''Z02''
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T1.ActDelDate, 112)
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T0.DocDate, 112)
+ ''    ''
+ IsNull(Convert(nVarChar(44), Cast(T1.BaseRef As Numeric(38, 0))), '''')
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.ItemCode)))) + SPACE(18-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.ItemCode))))
+ ''0'' + REPLACE(SPACE(12-LEN(CONVERT(varchar(12), CAST(T1.Quantity AS NUMERIC (38,3))))),'' '',''0'') + REPLACE(((LTRIM(RTRIM(CONVERT(NUMERIC(38,3),T1.Quantity))))),''.'','''')
+ ''0'' + REPLACE(SPACE(12-LEN(CONVERT(varchar(12), CAST(T1.PriceBefDi AS NUMERIC (38,2))))),'' '', ''0'') + REPLACE(((LTRIM(RTRIM(CONVERT(NUMERIC(38,2),T1.PriceBefDi))))) ,''.'','''')
+ ''ZPHA''
+ ''          ''
+ ''  ''
+ ''                         ''
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T4.CardName)))) + SPACE(69-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T4.CardName))))
+ ''                        ''
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T0.DocDate, 112)
+ ''               ''
FROM
JFOTST.dbo.OINV T0
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.ODLN T2 ON T2.DocNum=T1.BaseRef
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.DLN1 T3 ON T3.DocEntry=T2.DocEntry
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.OCRD T4 ON T1.U_NumConc=T4.AddId
WHERE T0.CardCode=''C52''
queryout "c:\text1.txt" -c -T -x'
Note that in this code everytime you need to use the symbol ' you have to doble it like ''Fixed Text''.
Be aware that there is one UDF so if you try to make this query run in your SB1 you will have to create a UDF called U_NumConc in the document lines.
Database usage:
JFOTST.dbo.OINV T0
JFOTST.dbo - Database Name.
OINV - Table
T0  - Alias
For any doubts I'll be available to help.
Once again thank you very much for all your help.
Together we are stronger!
Kind Regards,
Miguel Barbosa
