Importing data to Sybase, getting "EOF encountered" error

When I try to import this file (1 record):

0261309333170084904400##7#4#34342036       ^84904400##7#4#34342^213027967000002    ^036^026130933317000  }  

Select allOpen in new window

I get this error:

The file is generated from a Sql statement on another Unix box and I append "}" to each row in the sql query.

But when I create the file manually with 1 record, it inserts ok . . . So I copy the same data into a blank file without the trailing  }, then simply type in the }, and this loads ok !

What's going on with this ?

I have another process where I take a flat file and append "}" to the end of each record (via SSIS), so apparently Sybase wants this, but why won't it take my file that I create with } at the end ?

I'm pretty sure I don't need any crazy commands, since the command to load my other process is simply
bcpin2_tilde stars1 CBAS_PROV_IDS CBAS_ID.dat

Plus my command where I successfully imported the one record was
bcpin my_db my_table _my_file.dat
