and then check the system variable &SYSRC for a return code to verify if the table already
exists, a file containing options to continue or quit is logged at the console. Any other error
return codes terminate the job with a Teradata Database error, as follows:
.SET CREATERC TO &SYSRC;
.IF CREATERC = 3803 /* Table &TABLE already exists */
.RUN FILE RUN01;
.ELSE
.IF CREATERC 0 THEN
.LOGOFF CREATRC;
.ENDIF
.BEGIN LOAD ----------; /* No errors returned. We can start the job.*/
/* TPump statements go here..... */
.END LOAD;
.LOGOFF;
File RUN01, which operates when the 3803 error causes the RUN FILE command to execute,
contains the following options:
.DISPLAY '&SYSUSER: Table FOO already exists....'
to FILE console;
.DISPLAY '&SYSUSER: Reply Continue anyway...'
to FILE console;
.DISPLAY '&SYSUSER: Reply Abort this JOB....'
to FILE console;
.DISPLAY '&SYSUSER: Reply or .Default '
to FILE console;
.ACCEPT RESPONSE FROM FILE CONSOLE;
.IF RESPONSE 'C' THEN
.LOGOFF CREATERC; /* Quit before we cause trouble */
.ENDIF;
Row Count Variables
The row count variables, which are updated for each Teradata TPump task, allow the insert,
update, and delete row counts and the error table counts for each import to be queried:
• &SYSDELCNT[n]
• &SYSETCNT[n]
• &SYSINSCNT[n]
• &SYSUPDCNT[n]
The values are stored in the Teradata TPump utility restart log table and are restored after a
client system or Teradata Database restart.
When EXECUTE INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE is used, Teradata TPump must
rely on the user to have correctly identified the action (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE) which
the macro performs. Teradata TPump cannot always determine the number of target tables,
and therefore can only provide a single combined value for all target tables. Using the existing
facility of variable substitution, each new system variable can be referenced as soon as the
variable is defined. The new variables are defined during the import phase and should be
