xp_xmdshell and BCP select string problem

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' UNION ALL SELECT (SELECT * FROM tablename FOR XML EXPLICIT)" queryout c:\test.xml -w -r "" -Sdataserver -Usa -Ppassword'

The above query shows syntax error at '<'. I was missed something here in string manipulation. Can any one have idea, where i miss?

Run your query (not the BCP) first in query analyzer.

I have not tried this myself. But in a UNION, I think you should have a name for the column of your primary query where the subsequent query will be union-nized (if there's such a word).

I Had run the whole xp_cmdshell with BCP in SSMS and its working fine. I want to add the xml root tag at the top of the xml ducment. So that i add the below line and it fails.

SELECT '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' UNION ALL

Any suggestions ?
