On most platforms, the default filenametakes the form BL__.ctl:tableunique-IDDetailsspecifies the table name.specifies a number that is used to prevent collisions in the eventof two or more simultaneous bulk loads of a particular table. TheSAS/ACCESS engine generates the number.To specify this option, you must first set YES for the MULTILOAD= data set option.The file contains MultiLoad Language definitions that specify the location of the dataand how the data corresponds to the database table. It specifies exactly how MultiLoadshould interpret the data that you are loading.
