Subj:   Re: Internal Format of MLOAD/FEXP data files
 
From:   Michael Larkins



  Does anyone know a way to take an "internal format" data file and output it somehow back out to VARTEXT mode, perhaps using one of the utilities?  


Have you considered running FEXP again using MODE RECORD and FORMAT TEXT with a SELECT that does a TRIM of a CAST to CHAR data with a literal separator (ie ':') concatenated between each column?

Teradata is actually quite fast at this and much easier than converting and sorting a different file.


Hope this helps,
