Dialect Nodialect The Dialect qualifier is used to control whether truncation of string data during the loading of data is reported or not. This loss of data might be significant. RMU Load defaults to SQL dialect SQL99 which implicitly checks for and reports truncations during INSERT operations. o /NODIALECT, /DIALECT=SQL89 or /DIALECT=NONE will not report any truncation errors, which is the "old" behavior of Rdb (prior to July 2008). o /DIALECT=SQL99 (the default) will enable reporting of truncation errors. Note that truncation occurs if non-space characters are discarded during the insert.
