Use

Use the standard time stamp definition to determine the format for plain-text values, in which TIMESTAMP columns are entered and displayed.

The default value in the Loader is INTERNAL.

·        If you use this standard time stamp definition in the SET command, then you also specify the time stamp format for all subsequent commands. In a single Loader session, this applies until a new SET command is executed.

Time stamp format in the SET command

SET TIMESTAMP ISO

·        You can change the specified time stamp format for individual commands. For more information, see Date Format.
