Have you tried running the command in cmd window to test if it the xp_cmdshell or the command you are trying to run

You haven't supplied the user login after the -U (no space).

You will also get a problem with the -P as you haven't supplied the password (also no space).

NB both are case-sensitive.

You will then get an issue with the -S as you haven't supplied the server name.

Note that osql is to be removed from SQL Server at some time in the future - sqlcmd[^] is now the recommended command-line utility
