When using BULKLOAD=YES to load data into a Microsoft SQL Server using SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC with the Microsoft SQL Server Native 11.0 driver, you might receive the following error:

The problem is not flagged by Version 10 or Version 6 of the driver. The problem occurs with Version 2014.120.4219.00 of the SQL Server Native Client 11 driver when it encounters bad data in the SAS^® data set itself.

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Upgrade to the latest version of the Microsoft SQL Server Native 11 driver.
• If you cannot upgrade to the latest version of the Microsoft SQL Server Native 11 driver, export the SAS data set to a tab delimited text file, and then import it back. This often removes the unprintable characters in the text file, and enables it to bulk load to the SQL Server.
