DBDELIMITER

 

Specifies the symbol that separates loaded and unloaded files in the LOAD and UNLOAD statements.

 

Syntax:

 

DBDELIMITER={delimiter}

 

Possible values:

 

Variable value can be any single character except for:

§      hexadecimal digits (0 through 9, a through f, and A through F),

§      newline character (or Ctrl + J),

§      \ (backslash).

 

| by default.

 

Usage and examples:

 

Separators are necessary when you load data to or unload it from the database statement by means of the LOAD and UNLOAD statements.

You can specify this separator by

§      setting the DBDELIMITER value (^, caret, becomes the delimiter in the example):

 

DBDELIMITER=^

 

§      adding the DELIMITER clause to the LOAD or UNLOAD statement,

§      using the base.Channel.setDelimiter() method.

 

If DBDELIMITER is not set and the DELIMITER clause is omitted, the default delimiter - |, pipe, - is used.

 

DBDELIMITER applies at runtime, so it must be set in inet.env.
