Purpose
The Data parcel sends data in Record Mode to the Teradata Database. The Data parcel follows either a Req, IndicReq, or FMReq parcel that contains a USING modifier.
Usage Notes
This parcel is generated by CLI at the direction of the application.
Parcel Data
The following table lists field information for the Data parcel.
| Flavor Field | Parcel Body Length | Parcel Body Fields |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 1 to maximum body size | Data: 1 to maximum body size bytes |
A maximum parcel body size of 65024 bytes is only approached with the Archive/Recovery utility. The maximum size of a regular SQL parcel body is 64256 bytes, including overhead such a presence bits and variable length columns.
Fields
The Data field contains a formatted record of data.
- The order of the items and their data types and lengths are determined by the USING modifier in the Teradata SQL statement.
- The values of the items are represented in a client internal format for details. For details, see Record.
- A null value is implicitly indicated by a specific value of the item and that value is not necessarily unique to null. For explicit, unique indications of null values, use Indicator Mode or Field Mode.
