Subj: | | Re: BTEQ - export string with CRLF |

From: | | Geoffrey Rommel |
| 255 characters which is a BTEQ limit. | |
Recent versions of BTEQ have relaxed this limit to 65531. Check your manual, or download a more recent version from the patch server.
| Do you know how to force BTEQ to read CRLF or any workaround that might be used? | |
Unfortunately, it seems that BTEQ (or field mode?) translates your CRLF's to blanks. Ugh! Maybe ".export data" would work. Or this:
#!perl
use Teradata::SQL;
$dbh = Teradata::SQL::connect("dbc/bogart,bacall");
$sel = $dbh->open("select your queries here...") or die "huh?";
while (@text = $sel->fetchrow_list) {
#--- Print the data without modification.
print "$text[0]\n";
}
$sel->close;
$dbh->disconnect;
