Maxl import on error write to error

Question

I created a Maxl import data script to load data using SQL. The execution works when the on error is set to abort, however, when I set the on error to write or append I receive a syntax error message.
I set the path in script editor as on error write to 'c:\\hyperion\dataload.err' but it appears in the MaxL statement window as on error write to $outfile_sree1.
Does anyone know what might cause this error?

Answer 1

below is the Maxl script I use to import data into one of our databases. I do not use a double backslash in the file path.
Good Luck,
