— This property does not apply when loading to or extracting from UCS2 columns.
— When the data file is a fixed-length format with pass-through-mode set to true,

pass-through-mode

is false, specify record lengths and field offsets as number of

characters.

endseq

endseq = "sequence of characters"

endseq

, along with the

“startseq” (page 58)

option, are specific to named pipe sources and allow

specification of start and end sequence records.

This is an optional feature to allow data synchronization between Transporter and your
applications.

The start and end sequence records are considered “substitute” records. Whenever one of these
records is written to the pipe (either by Transporter during an extract operation, or by the
application during a load operation), it is terminated by an appropriate record separator.

sequence of characters

should not contain a record separator.

For a load operation when a pipe is read, Transporter discards any records read until the
startseq

record is seen. Transporter stops reading records once the endseq record has been

seen.

For an extract operation, Transporter writes the startseq record into the pipe before the first
data record. After all records have been written, the endseq record is written. The endseq
record is written even if errors are encountered.

errors

errors = number

The default value is 1000.
The minimum value is 1.
The maximum value is 100,000.
