This section explains how to define the input and output files required to run BTEQ in batch mode. It also describes how to define additional files required by specific BTEQ commands in both batch and interactive modes.
Input files (or input stream files) are user-defined files identified as sources of BTEQ commands, SQL requests, or import data records. Similarly, output files are user-defined files identified as destinations for command and query results, exported data records and status messages reflected or included to reveal associated success or failures.
