specifies the size of data parcels in kilobytes from 1 through 64.
You can use the output buffer size to control the amount of data that is transferred in each parcel from SAS to Teradata when using the TPT API. A larger buffer size can reduce processing overhead by including more data in each parcel. See your Teradata documentation for details.
