Table of Contents
specifies the name of the work table for SAS to use when using the TPT API to load data with MultiLoad.
MultiLoad inserts that use the TPT API require a work table. If you do not specify a work table, Teradata appends "_WT" to the name of the target table to load and uses it as the work table by default. You can override this name by specifying TPT_WORK_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_WORK_TABLE= must be unique. It cannot be the name of an existing table unless it is in a restart scenario.
In this example, a different name is provided for the work table that MultiLoad uses with the TPT API.
libname tera teradata user=myusr1 pw=mypwd1;
/* Load using Multiload TPT. Use alternate names for the work table. */
data tera.testdata(MULTILOAD=YES TPT_WORK_TABLE=worktab);
