DEFAULT

Purpose  

The DEFAULT parameter defines the file path name that contains default options for Teradata ARC.

Syntax  

where

Syntax Element	Definition
filename	Name of the file that contains Teradata ARC default options

Usage Notes  

If DEFAULT is used, it must be the first runtime parameter specified in the list of parameters on the command line or in the environment variables.

If the file path of the DEFAULT parameter includes embedded spaces or special characters, enclose the path with single (’) or double (“) quote marks.

If ARCDFLT is specified, or if DEFAULT= starts either ARCENV or the actual command-line argument, the file pointed to by ARCDFLT or DEFAULT is read into memory and its content prepended to the command-line string.

On IBM platforms, PARM is the runtime parameter that provides the analogous functionality to DEFAULT.

The following example illustrates the use of DEFAULT:

   DEFAULT=C:\TESTARC\CONFIG.ARC
