Syntax documentation DATAUPDATE Command Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

With this SAP DB Loader command, you can control the updating of individual column values of tables.

Syntax

<dataupdate_statement> ::=
DATAUPDATE TABLE <table_spec> <acc_column_spec_mlt> <set_column_spec_mlt> <instream_spec> [<longfile_spec_mlt>]

You can also use the keywords UPDATE DATA instead of the keyword DATAUPDATE.

Prerequisites

The target table exists on the database instance.

Process Flow

The SAP DB Loader generates an internal UPDATE statement from the DATAUPDATE command and then executes it.

Result

The individual line values in the specified table columns are updated. All of the changes made to the target table(s) as a result have also been written to the Structure linklog area of the database instance.

Errors

If errors occur while a DATAUPDATE command is being executed, the SAP DB Loader terminates the process and displays an error message. A log file is written.
