1     2008-08-04-10.16.33.941944


I want to insert it with current timestamp value. I tried to change the data using DFsort . But with DFSort i am not able to get nanosecond ( USing
Code:
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,5,6:DATE4,C'.000000'))

Guptae,

Its possible using FASTLOAD utility without ALTERing you table.

But with LOAD utility, you have to ALTER the table for that column to NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT. Then you can ignore the column in the LOAD card, automatically CURRENT TIMESTAMP will be taken.

Thank You,
Sushanth
