Hi, I have a libname stmt to connect to teradata and I need to add the Query_band option to it. I am trying as below but getting error: How do i use query_band here ?

libname test_conn teradata

        schema=&db

        server=&dbserver

        sessions=1

        user="&dbuid"

        password="&dbpw"

        UTILCONN_TRANSIENT=YES

        QUERY_BAND="UtilityDataSize=SMALL";

Error log:

2065               user="&dbuid"

TERADATA_0: Executed: on connection 0
SET QUERY_BAND='UtilityDataSize=SMALL' UPDATE FOR SESSION;
2066               password="&dbpw"
2067       X       UTILCONN_TRANSIENT=YES
2068               QUERY_BAND="UtilityDataSize=SMALL";
ERROR: Error in processing session query band: A syntax error was found in the QUERY_BAND
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

This is just a hunch from some legacy code using Query_band, it may or may not relevant, but you may need to add a semi-colon?

QUERY_BAND="UtilityDataSize=SMALL;";
