Syntax

UNIX:

    [log=logfile] [chardel=chardelimiter] [coldel=coldelimiter] 
        [date=dateformat] [plus=sign] [savedel=delfilename]
            [id=logon pass=password] [commit=rowcount]

Windows:

mfhco import db=databasename tbl=tablename file=filename [fmt=format] 
    [log=logfile] [chardel=chardelimiter] [coldel=coldelimiter]

            [commit=rowcount]

Syntax Rules

At least one space must occur before each parameter in the command.
There must be an equal sign (=) between parameters and their values.
If you omit parameters that have a default value, Host Compatibility Option uses the default value.

Parameters

import	Invokes the Import Data command-line processor. This parameter is positional.
`databasename`	Name of the database to import to.
`tablename`	Name of table to be imported. You can specify both the schema and the table name, separated with a period.
filename	Filename to import data from.
`format`	Format to import data. Valid values are IXF, DEL, and DSNTIAUL. You can use DSN for DSNTIAUL.
logfile	File to write processing messages to. If this parameter is not specified, a logfile is created in the current directory. In Windows environments, the default logfile name is based on the project name. .
`chardelimiter`	Delimiter used to enclose character data when import format is DEL specified. Default is double quotes (").
`coldelimiter`	Delimiter used to indicate the end of column data when import format DEL is specified. Default is comma (,).
`dateformat`	Format to import date fields in if importing data in DSNTIAUL or DEL format. Default is the format for your country. Valid values for DSNTIAUL are ISO, USA, EUR, and JIS. ISO is only valid option for DEL format.
`sign`	Generate positive numeric data with plus signs when importing data in DEL format. Valid values are "Y" for yes to generate plus signs or "N" to not generate plus signs. Default is "Y".
savedel	Save DSNTIAUL as an ASCII-delimited file that can be used to import large amounts of data via a third-party tool.
`delfilename`	Filename of the ASCII-delimited file.
`rowcount`	The number of rows per commit.
`logon`	The logon ID for the database server. (UNIX only)
`pass`	The password for the database server. (UNIX only)
