a true DDNAME.
If DDNAME is specified, Teradata TPump reads data records from the
specified source.
A DDNAME must obey the same rules for its construction as Teradata
SQL column names, except that:
• the “at” sign (@) is allowed as an alphabetic character
• the underscore (_) is not allowed
The DDNAME must also obey the applicable rules of the external system.
If DDNAME represents a data source on magnetic tape, the tape may be
either labelled or nonlabelled (if the operating system supports it). The
“at” sign (@) is allowed as an alphabetic character and the underscore (_)
is not allowed.
