I have the requirement, where for one of the client I need to incorporate the filename in Teradata table. Client has Teradata 13 machine. We have a fixed width source flat file and we are using TPT script in "TEXT" format.
I went into the forun and read the below post where it was mentioned that "METADATA feature is only supported with RECORD format"
http://forums.teradata.com/forum/tools/using-name-of-flat-file-in-tpt-load
Please suggest if we have any alternative to this in TPT.
Another alternative I have is to update the source file by adding filename as one of the column in all the records through UNIX script. But I am trying to avoid making any changes to the source file.
Appreciate your suggestions.
