Syntax Description

valid_teradata_table_name: specifies the name of the first error table for SAS to use when using the TPT API to load data with Fastload or MultiLoad.

Details

To use this option, you must first set TPT=YES. This option is valid only when using the TPT API.

Fastload and MultiLoad require an error table to hold records that were rejected during the acquisition phase. If you do not specify an error table, Teradata appends "_ET" to the name of the target table to load and uses it as the first error table by default. You can override this name by setting TPT_ERROR_TABLE_1=. If you do this and the load step fails, you must specify the same name when restarting. For information about errors that are logged in this table, see your Teradata documentation.

The name that you specify in TPT_ERROR_TABLE_1= must be unique. It cannot be the name of an existing table unless it is in a restart scenario.

Example: Specify Different Names for Two Error Tables

In this example, a different name is provided for both the first and second error tables that Fastload and MultiLoad use with the TPT API.

libname tera teradata user=testuser pw=testpw;
/* Load using Fastload TPT.  Use alternate names for the error tables. */
data tera.testdata(FASTLOAD=YES TPT_ERROR_TABLE_1=testerror1
    TPT_ERROR_TABLE_2=testerror2);
i=1;output; i=2;output;
run;
