Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 BL_REMOTE_FILE= Data Set Option 277DetailsTo specify this option, you must first set BULKLOAD=YES.See Also“BL_REJECT_LIMIT= Data Set Option” on page 275“BULKLOAD= Data Set Option” on page 290BL_REMOTE_FILE= Data Set OptionSpecifies the base filename and location of DB2 LOAD temporary files.Default value: noneValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESSsoftware)DBMS support: DB2 under UNIX and PC HostsSyntaxBL_REMOTE_FILE=pathname-and-base-filenameSyntax Descriptionpathname-and-base-filenameis the full pathname and base filename to which DB2 appends extensions (such as.log, .msg, and .dat files) to create temporary files during load operations. By default,the base filename takes the form BL__:tableunique-IDspecifies 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.DetailsTo specify this option, you must first set BULKLOAD=YES.Do not use BL_REMOTE_FILE= unless you have SAS Release 6.1 or later for boththe DB2 client and server. Using the LOAD facility with a DB2 client or server beforeRelease 6.1 might cause the tablespace to become unusable in the event of a load error.A load error might affect tables other than the table being loaded.When you specify this option, the DB2 LOAD command is used (instead of theIMPORT command). For more information about these commands, see the bulk-loadtopic in the DB2 under z/OS section.For pathname, specify a location on a DB2 server that is accessed exclusively by asingle DB2 server instance, and for which the instance owner has read and writepermissions. Make sure that each LOAD command is associated with a uniquepathname-and-base-filename value.
