-w parameter with osql

Hi everyone,

I'm using osql to generate a pipe-delimited output file, that is potentially up to 500 characters wide. No matter what I set the -w parameter to in my batch file, the output file still wraps at position 192. Is there an additional parameter that I can use to allow up to 500 characters, or is this a limitation of osql??

Any advice would be greatily appreciated!
Thanks, Dave Lewis
