Chapter 3: <strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> Commands<br />

ACCEPT<br />

Syntax Element<br />

fileid<br />

charpos1 and charpos2<br />

Description<br />

<strong>Data</strong> source of the external system.<br />

The external system DD (or similar) statement specifies a file.<br />

UNIX and Windows<br />

infilename (the path name for a file).<br />

If the path name has embedded white space characters, enclose the<br />

entire path name in single or double quotes.<br />

z/OS<br />

a true DDNAME.<br />

If DDNAME is specified, <strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> reads data records from<br />

the specified source.<br />

A DDNAME must obey the same rules for its construction as<br />

<strong>Teradata</strong> SQL column names, except that:<br />

• the “at” sign (@) is allowed as an alphabetic character<br />

• the underscore (_) is not allowed<br />

The DDNAME must also obey the applicable rules of the external<br />

system.<br />

If DDNAME represents a data source on magnetic tape, the tape<br />

may be either labelled or nonlabelled (if the operating system<br />

supports it).<br />

Start and end character positions of a field in each input record<br />

which contains extraneous information<br />

<strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> ignores the specified field(s) as follows:<br />

• If charpos1 is specified, <strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> ignores only the single<br />

specified character position.<br />

• If charpos1 THRU character positions are specified, <strong>Teradata</strong><br />

T<strong>Pump</strong> ignores character positions from charpos1 through the<br />

end of the record.<br />

• If THRU charpos2 is specified, <strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> ignores character<br />

positions from the beginning of the record through charpos2.<br />

• If charpos1 THRU charpos2 is specified, <strong>Teradata</strong> T<strong>Pump</strong> ignores<br />

character positions from charpos1 through charpos2.<br />

Usage Notes<br />

A single record, row, or input line is accepted from the designated source. Ensure that there is<br />

only one record in the file from which the ACCEPT command is getting the variables.<br />

If multiple variables are coded, each is sequentially assigned input text up to the first white<br />

space character encountered that is not within a quoted string.<br />

Input text for numeric values must be delimited only by white space or record boundaries.<br />

Input text for character strings must be enclosed in apostrophes. For example:<br />

.Accept age, name from file info;<br />
