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.

`format`	Format to import data. Valid values are IXF, DEL, and DSNTIAUL. You can use DSN for DSNTIAUL.

`coldelimiter`	Delimiter used to indicate the end of column data when import format DEL is specified. Default is comma (,).

`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.

Comments

The Import Data tool can also be run as a batch function.
