Proc Import documentation, Example 3

PGStats — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 04:24:19 GMT

Just came across Example 3: Importing a Tab-Delimited File in the documentation of Proc Import. Doesn't look right to me.

lol, took me a while to find it. Wonder if they’re running on a EBCDIC platform now.

@ShelleySessoms hope that can get fixed.

Thanks @PGStats and @Reeza. I've got the doc folks looking into it!

Thanks for pointing out this problem with the PROC IMPORT documentation, PG Stats. Yes, it doesn't look right, and it isn't right.

I updated the path name in the example to a Windows path to match the other PROC IMPORT examples. I also reran the example and replaced the example log. The new log corrects the inconsistent path names and file names that existed in the previous example log. I also replaced the example output, and it now contains a tab-delimited table. These changes will appear in the next update to the doc.

Thanks again,

Keith
