I have several load files which utilize bteq. In these files I create temp tables, perm tables, etc. These tables have the same column attributes, but different table names. Is there a way that I can create one file that has the column attributes and read it in to create my table? This way I only have to maintain one file.

For example the following would be in my normal bteq script.

bteq << EOF
.logon teradata/${TTID},${TTPSWD};

CREATE MULTISET TABLE dssbatch.craig_test ,NO FALLBACK ,
     NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
          NO AFTER JOURNAL
               (

At this point, I would want to read in a file that has all my columns.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
