BTEQ Export Guide for IT Professionals

There are 4 export modes for moving data out of Teradata: REPORT, DATA, INDICDATA, and DIF. REPORT is human readable, DATA and INDICDATA are machine formats where INDICDATA includes null indicators, and DIF is for transferring data to other applications. When exporting to the mainframe the record length must be manually calculated and the LIMIT option can control the number of records for testing. This document provides an example of exporting data from the ITEMPPI table to a pipe delimited file with a header row of column names and trailer row showing the record count.
