Name of the file that contains Teradata ARC default options

  • 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
