Hi,

I am having problems with a MLOAD DELETE script which I am creating for a purge job. This job will run monthly and delete data off 6 - 8 million rows of a 500 million row table each time. I am using a Mload Delete task with a single record input file which has the date for purging the events. According to the Mload reference I can use a single imported data record in a Delete Mload by defining Layout, Field, Import statements.

The error message I am getting is

"10:15:46,UTY0805 RDBMS failure, 2550: MLoad error: bad internal status - Delete Mload Started while Import Mload suspended".

The Mload script looks like follows:

     .LOGTABLE     Log_tbl1;
     .RUN FILE LOGIN;

     .BEGIN DELETE MLOAD
         TABLES   Tbl1
          WORKTABLES   WT_Tbl
          ERRORTABLES  Err_Tbl
     ;
     .LAYOUT Layout1;
     .FIELD PURGE_DT *  DATE;

     DELETE FROM Tbl1
     WHERE
     CAST(EVENT_TS_EST AS DATE) >= :PURGE_DT
     ;
       .IMPORT INFILE DATAIN
          LAYOUT Layout1;

I appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks,

Ramesh
