If you want to declare several variables with a comma separated list you need DECLARE only once!

SQL

declare @bcpcmd varchar(50),
@query varchar(500),
@filepath varchar(500),
@separator varchar(1)

Or you can write every variable with its own DECLARE on separate lines, but in that case you need no commas between them (it is a syntax error)

SQL

declare @bcpcmd varchar(50)
declare @query varchar(500)
declare @filepath varchar(500)
declare @separator varchar(1)

(notice the lack of commas here)
