Hi all

Ok, 

DATE 'DD.MM.YYYY'

workes fine, but how to make it with timestamp values ?

I have a command file : 

Create table datetest (
        nr smallint,
        name char(50),
        heute date
)
//
DATALOAD table datetest
nr  1
name 2
heute 3
INFILE '/home/sapdb/datetest.inp'
DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.MMMMMM'
SEPARATOR ','
DELIMITER ''

and the input file : 

1,Holger,1999-01-23-14.30.08.456234
2,Achim,2003-02-19-10.06.50.123456


But here comes the Errormessage :  

Error during execution
-->-25301
Invalid input for date or time column: 1999-01-23-14.30.08.456234

Defined maximum number of errors (1) reached


maybe I have to take an other Statement instead of 'DATE', or an other
column datatype ?
