I have the attached file slask.sql. When I run it this happens: <img width="657" height="94" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e700cc71-05d8-4849-9045-068107b0fda2" /> The issue is that the second go is followed by two tab characters and go-sqlcmd does not recognise the situation. It works in old SQLCMD and in SSMS. Note: The actual situation I ran into this is the creation script for the Northwind database.
