Bulk insert, Cannot bulk load. Unknown version of format file

问题

I'm having problems importing data exported using a more recent version of the bcp utility.

I need my exported data to be compatible with SQL server 2012.

It is my understanding that I need to add the -V110 option when exporting data.

However, even if I add the -V110 to the bcp command I always get version 12.0 (which is my bcp version) on the FMT file.

Here is a sample of my bcp call:

bcp [DB].[dbo].[Table1] format nul -c -f "E:\TMP\DATA\Table1.FMT" -V110 -S [SERVER] -t , -T

Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?

I managed to solve this problem by installing Microsoft® Command Line Utilities 11 for SQL Server® and adding the bcp.exe location to the path variables. Now I can export version 11 using bcp 11. You can download it from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36433
