Chapter 3: Teradata TPump Commands
NAME
NAME
Purpose
The NAME command assigns a unique job name identifier to the environmental variable
&SYSJOBNAME.
Syntax
.NAME jobname
;
3021A030
where
Syntax Element
jobname
Description
Character string that identifies the name of a job in a maximum of
16 characters
If this command is not specified, the default job name of ltdbase_logtable is
used, where:
• ltdbase is a character string of up to the first seven characters of the name of
the database containing the log table.
• logtable is a character string with the first eight characters of the log table
name.
Usage Notes
The NAME environmental command must be used only once, in order to set the job name
and the variable &SYSJOBNAME. Further attempts to execute the command will fail.
The NAME command sets the variable &SYSJOBNAME to the specified string. The string is
truncated to 16 characters. It is an error to use this command more than once in a Teradata
TPump script or after the first BEGIN LOAD command in the script.
If &SYSJOBNAME is not set using the NAME command, it defaults to
MYYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_LLLLL, where
M = macro
MM = month
DD = day
YYYY = year
hh = hour
mm = minute
ss = second
