You can use SQL statements in the output options configuration file to process these recordsets or output them into the specified output files. To distinguish them further, these recordsets are known as the intrinsic recordsets, which can be created by SQL statements or by linking to external data sources.
External data outputs
External data, such as data contained within linked tables or read from batches of PCFs and IDFs, is never output.
