Suppose successful execution of a Teradata SQL statement (such as CREATE TABLE) is necessary to prepare for Teradata TPump. If it is determined that the statement has failed with an unacceptable completion code, and if BADRC is set to &SYSRC after the failed SQL statement, the execution of Teradata TPump can be terminated and the unacceptable code returned to the client by executing this command:
.LOGOFF &BADRC;
The restart table is dropped when this command is executed. If execution is terminated before the LOGOFF command is encountered, the restart table is not dropped, in order to support a restart at a later time.
If a serious error terminates the program before the LOGOFF command is processed, the return code output is the value generated by the error condition rather than the optional retcode specified as a LOGOFF command option.
