Syntax

TPT_LOG_TABLE=valid_teradata_table_name

Syntax Description

valid_teradata_table_name: specifies the name of the restart log 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, MultiLoad, and Multi-Statement insert that use the TPT API require a restart log table. If you do not specify a restart log table, Teradata appends "_RS" to the name of the target table to load and uses it as the restart log table by default. You can override this name by setting TPT_LOG_TABLE=. If you do this and the load step fails, you must specify the same name when restarting.

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

Example

In this example, a different name is provided for the restart log table that Multi-Statement uses with the TPT API.

libname tera teradata user=testuser pw=testpw;
/* Load using Fastload TPT.  Use alternate names for the log table. */
data tera.testdata(MULTISTMT=YES TPT_LOG_TABLE=restarttab);
i=1;output; i=2;output;
run;
