What's in the two Char(6) source fields, and what's the required format for loading a Time data type into Teradata?

Code: Select all

UPDATE VOC 
SET F2='/u01/csunProjects/epmdvl/CS90_CSW91/hash_file_dir/HASH_DTTM_PS_ITEM_LINE_SF' 
WHERE @ID = 'HASH_DTTM_PS_ITEM_LINE_SF' ;
The terminating semi-colon is required.
Depending on what you saw in LIST.ITEM command, you may also need to update F3.

You CAN use a Sequential File stage. It imposes no practical limit on the number of columns. But that was only one suggestion of a few.

And it's perfectly legitimate that a nullable column happens not to contain any null values.

Does not the documentation say that multiple OCCURS DEPENDING ON are not supported (not multiple OCCURS)?

Read the whole line as a single string.
Use Ereplace() function to change the multi-character delimiter to a single-character delimiter, then use Field() functions to parse the individual fields from the string.

The FMTS() function will be of even more use. Convert(@VM,",",Fmts(Convert(",",@VM,InLink,TheString),"2R")) The inner Convert() changes commas to value marks. The Fmts() function applies the format specification to each value in the multi-valued field. The outer Convert...

Check the VOC entry for HASH_DTTM_PS_ITEM_LINE_SF

Code: Select all

LIST.ITEM VOC 'HASH_DTTM_PS_ITEM_LINE_SF'
I think you will find that the slash is missing from that too.

By keeping only printable characters.

But is this really what you want to do? Some of these non-printing characters may be part of your client's valid data.

If you insist, use the "double Convert()" technique.

Server or parallel job? The answer will be different.

You posted in the Server forum but marked your job type as parallel.

If you look at the match statistics, is there much mention of overflow blocks? You may need to look at a blocking strategy that more finely discriminates potential duplicates, so that the block size is not exceeded. If the records don't appear on any of those links, where DO they appear? These are t...

Why? Do you have your client's permission to change their data?
