FIELD
Example 1
Instead of specifying the following:
...
.FIELD fc * CHAR(5) NULLIF fc = 'empty';
.FIELD fi * INTEGER NULLIF fi = 0;
...
.DML LABEL ins;
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES(...,:fc,:fi,...);
Use this instead:
...
.FIELD fc * CHAR(5);
.FIELD fi * INTEGER;
...
.DML LABEL ins;
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES(...,NULLIF(:fc,'empty'),NULLIF(:fi,0),...);
Example 2
In more complex situations, as in the following example:
...
.FIELD fs * CHAR(1) ;
.FIELD fc * CHAR(5) NULLIF (fs 'M') AND (fs 'F');
.FIELD fi * INTEGER NULLIF fi < 0;
...
.DML LABEL ins;
INSERT INTO tbl2 VALUES(...,:fs,:fc,:fi,...);
Use this instead:
...
.FIELD fs * CHAR(1) ;
.FIELD fc * CHAR(5);
.FIELD fi * INTEGER;
...
.DML LABEL ins;
INSERT INTO tbl2 VALUES(...,:fs,
CASE WHEN (:fs = 'M') OR (:fs = 'F') THEN :fc ELSE NULL END,
CASE WHEN (:fi >= 0) THEN :fi ELSE NULL END,...);
Using ANSI/SQL DateTime Data Types
When the DATEFORM command is used to specify ANSIDATE as the DATE data type, each
DATE field is internally converted to a CHAR(10) field. All ANSI/SQL DateTime TIME,
TIMESTAMP, and INTERVAL data types must be converted to fixed-length CHAR data types
to specify column and field names in a Teradata TPump FIELD command.
Table 28 shows how to use ANSI/SQL DateTime specifications.
