ARCHIVE is a separate program from BTEQ on Teradata. it is called ARCMAIN.Here are the directions that come wit the Teradata Demo CD about archiving the database. I updated it to match what you specified above.Create a file with notepad called b-sample.txt. Its contents should be:LOGON tdpid/user,password;ARCHIVE DATA TABLES (geref) ALL, RELEASE LOCK,INDEXES,OUTPUT ROW COUNT, FILE = geref.dat; LOGOFF;note FILE = can only be 8 chars with no path Create another file names b-sample.bat. Its contents should be:arcmain sessions=2 < b-sample.txt > b-sample.logdel *.rlgpause

ARCMAIN is a client utility. If you do not see it, then you need to install it.
