Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 TPT= Data Set Option 373See AlsoFor information about specifying how long to wait before retrying a logon operation,see the “SLEEP= Data Set Option” on page 371.“Maximizing Teradata Load Performance” on page 804e“Using the TPT API” on page 807“MULTILOAD= Data Set Option” on page 342TPT= Data Set OptionSpecifies whether SAS uses the TPT API to load data for Fastload, MultiLoad, or Multi-Statementinsert requests.Default value:YESValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESSsoftware)DBMS support:TeradataSyntaxTPT=YES | NOSyntax DescriptionYESspecifies that SAS uses the TPT API when Fastload, MultiLoad, or Multi-Statementinsert is requested.NOspecifies that SAS does not use the TPT API when Fastload, MultiLoad, orMulti-Statement insert is requested.DetailsTo use this option, you must first set BULKLOAD=YES.By using the TPT API, you can load data into a Teradata table without workingdirectly with such stand-alone Teradata utilities as Fastload, MultiLoad, or TPump.When TPT=NO, SAS uses the TPT API load driver for FastLoad, the update driver forMultiLoad, and the stream driver for Multi-Statement insert.When TPT=YES, sometimes SAS cannot use the TPT API due to an error or becauseit is not installed on the system. When this happens, SAS does not produce an error,but it still tries to load data using the requested load method (Fastload, MultiLoad, orMulti-Statement insert). To check whether SAS used the TPT API to load data, look fora similar message to this one in the SAS log:NOTE: Teradata connection:has read n row(s).TPT FastLoad/MultiLoad/MultiStatement insert
