Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 BL_DIRECT_PATH= Data Set Option 243For example, specify BL_DELIMITER=’\174’ to use the pipe symbol (| or \174 in octalrepresentation) as a delimiter. You must specify octal numbers as three digits even ifthe first couple of digits would be 0–for example, \003 or \016, not \3 or \16.Sybase IQ: The default is | (the pipe symbol). You can specify the delimiter as asingle printable character (such as |), or you can use hexadecimal notation to specifyany single 8-bit hexadecimal ASCII code. For example, to use the tab character as adelimiter, you can specify BL_DELIMITER=’\x09’.ExampleData in this example contains the pipe symbol:data work.testdel;col1=’my|data’;col2=12;run;This example shows how you can override this default when BULKLOAD=YES:/* Using a comma to delimit data */proc append base=netlib.mydat(BULKLOAD=YES BL_DELIMITER=’,’)data=work.testdel;run;See Also“BL_DATAFILE= Data Set Option” on page 218“BL_DELETE_DATAFILE= Data Set Option” on page 238“BL_FORCE_NOT_NULL= Data Set Option” on page 254“BL_FORMAT= Data Set Option” on page 255“BL_NULL= Data Set Option” on page 265“BL_OPTIONS= Data Set Option” on page 267“BL_QUOTE= Data Set Option” on page 274“BL_USE_PIPE= Data Set Option” on page 286“BULKEXTRACT= Data Set Option” on page 289“BULKLOAD= Data Set Option” on page 290“BULKUNLOAD= LIBNAME Option” on page 103“BULKUNLOAD= Data Set Option” on page 291BL_DIRECT_PATH= Data Set OptionSets the Oracle SQL*Loader DIRECT option.Default value: YESValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESSsoftware)DBMS support: OracleSyntaxBL_DIRECT_PATH=YES | NO
