ML_WORK=temporary-table-name

Syntax Description

temporary-table-name: specifies the name of a temporary table that MultiLoad uses to store intermediate data that the MultiLoad utility receives during a bulk-load operation.

Details

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

Use this option to specify the name of the table to use for tracking intermediate data that the MultiLoad utility received during a bulk-load operation. When you restart the job, use ML_WORK= to specify the name of the table for tracking intermediate data during a previously failed MultiLoad job.

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

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