The (date, Format'YYYYMMDD') did it.
Eric: In response to your question, "In order for the original suggestions to work the file must contain a char(8) data value for the
date. Does it?" Yes, it did/does.
Fred: In response to your "IF...", "If the input data matches the FORMAT used in CREATE TABLE". I created and recreated the table with
and without a format statement on Junk02. With the format, I tried both "yyyymmdd" and "mmddyyyy", and subsequently matched the input data
to the format specified, as well as the format statement in the MLoad DML. It was never enough.
Thanks Barry, Gloria, Fred, Eric, and Roland for your help with this problem.
