-w controls the width of the output. As I understand it, you have
problems with the input.

One thing to keep in mind, is by default OSQL runs with QUOTED_IDENTIFIER
off, which is different from Query Analyzer. Run with -I to change this.

It would have helped if you had included any error messages.
