What is FILLER command in Teradata?

Ans:

While running Fastload or Multiload if you don’t want to load a particular field from the datafile to the target table then use the FILLER command to achieve this. Syntax for FILLER command would be as following:

.LAYOUT FILE_PRODUCT; /* It is input file layout name */
.FIELD Prod_No * char(11); /* To load data into Prod_No */
.FIELD Prod_Name * char(11); /* To load data into Prod_Name */
.FIELD Location * char(11); /* To load data into Location */
.FILLER Prod_Chars * char(20); /* To skip the value for the next 5 locations */
