TSV Output Format Into-Entity Syntax

<into-entity> ::= <filename> |
STDOUT
The <into-entity> specified in queries using the TSV output format is either:
  • A filename;
  • The "STDOUT" keyword, which specifies that the output data is to be written to the output stream (the console output).

The default into-entity for queries that do not specify an INTO clause is "STDOUT".

The TSV output format supports the multiplex feature, which can be enabled by specifying '*' wildcards in the into-entity filename. This feature allows output records to be written to different files depending on the values of their fields. For more information on the multiplex feature, see Multiplexing Output Records.

Examples:

INTO report.tsv
INTO \\COMPUTER01\Reports\report.tsv
INTO STDOUT
INTO Reports_*_*\Report*.tsv
