Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 TPT_WORK_TABLE= Data Set Option 393TPT_WORK_TABLE= Data Set OptionSpecifies the name of the work table for SAS to use when using the TPT API with MultiLoad.Default value: table_name_WTValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESSsoftware)DBMS support: TeradataSyntaxTPT_WORK_TABLE=valid_teradata_table_nameSyntax Descriptionvalid_teradata_table_namespecifies the name of the work table for SAS to use when using the TPT API to loaddata with MultiLoad.DetailsTo use this option, you must first set TPT=YES. This option is valid only when usingthe TPT API.MultiLoad inserts that use the TPT API require a work table. If you do not specify awork table, Teradata appends "_WT" to the name of the target table to load and uses itas the work table by default. You can override this name by settingTPT_WORK_TABLE=. If you do this and the load step fails, you must specify the samename when restarting.The name that you specify in TPT_WORK_TABLE= must be unique. It cannot be thename of an existing table unless it is in a restart scenario.ExampleIn this example, a different name is provided for the work table that MultiLoad useswith the TPT API.libname tera teradata user=testuser pw=testpw;/* Load using Multiload TPT. Use alternate names for the work table. */data tera.testdata(MULTILOAD=YES TPT_WORK_TABLE=worktab);i=1;output; i=2;output;run;See Also“Maximizing Teradata Load Performance” on page 804“Using the TPT API” on page 807“MULTILOAD= Data Set Option” on page 342“TPT= LIBNAME Option” on page 192“TPT= Data Set Option” on page 373“TPT_ERROR_TABLE_1= Data Set Option” on page 380
