Hi, I've the following sentence in a perl script:

do {
$sentence ="LOAD FROM \
/tmp/test.txt \
OF DEL insert into ngr.TABLE_NAME_test";
$load=$dbh->do($sentence);
die "Error in do: $DBI::err ... $DBI::errstr" if $DBI::err;
};

But, I obtain the following error:

Error in prepare: -104 ... [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/6000] SQL0104N An unexpected token "LOAD" was found following "BEGIN-OF-STATEMENT". Expected tokens may include: "<values>". SQLSTATE=42601

Thanks in advance for your help

NOTE: all other sent4ences work ok, sentences as INSERT; DELETE, SELECT.etc.

"LOAD" is not a SQL statement; it's a CLP (command line processor) command. You'll have to invoke CLP to run LOAD, like this

db2 $sentence
