Purpose  

Enables and disables the issue of warnings in response to syntax errors in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publications 127-2 and 127-3 for ANSI compliance.

Syntax

Syntax Element

Specification

ENTRY

A warning is to be issued for syntax errors according to FIPS 127-2 tests.

INTERMEDIATE

A warning is to be issued for syntax errors according to FIPS 127-3 tests.

NONE

No warning is to be issued for violations of ANSI-compliant syntax.

Usage Notes  

The SQLFLAG option takes effect at logon time. Before changing the SESSION SQLFLAG setting, all Teradata Database sessions must be logged off. Otherwise, the current setting remains in effect and BTEQ displays the following warning message:

*** Warning: You must not be logged on to change the SQLFLAG or TRANSACTION settings.

Example  

To enable warnings in response to syntax errors in accordance with FIPS 127-2, type:

   .set session SQLFLAG ENTRY

Example  

To disable warnings of violations of ANSI-compliant syntax, specify the SESSION SQLFLAG command as:

   .set session SQLFLAG NONE;

or

   .set session SQLFLAG;

Note: Both the SET and SESSION keywords can be omitted when using this command.

BTEQ Response

Unless BTEQ encounters an error condition, there is no display response to the SESSION SQLFLAG command.
