ML_ERROR2=temporary-table-name

Syntax Description

temporary-table-name: specifies the name of a temporary table that MultiLoad uses to track errors that were generated during the application phase of a bulk-load operation.

Details

To specify this option, you must first set MULTILOAD=YES.

Use this option to specify the name of a table to use for tracking errors that were generated during the application phase of the MultiLoad bulk-load operation. By default, the application error table is named SAS_ML_UT_randnum, where randnum is a random number.

When you restart a failed MultiLoad job, you must specify the same application table from the earlier run so that the MultiLoad job can restart correctly. Using ML_RESTART=, ML_ERROR1=, and ML_WORK=, you must also specify the same log table, acquisition error table, and work table upon restarting.

Note: Do not use ML_ERROR2 with ML_LOG=, which provides a common prefix for all temporary tables that the Teradata MultiLoad utility uses. [cautionend]

For more information about temporary table names that the Teradata MultiLoad utility uses and what is stored in each, see the Teradata MultiLoad reference.
