You might want to look into the 'defaultif' option in the control file.

Maybe some could help me.
I'm having trouble trying to load a csv  file with sqlldr. The destination
table
has char columns defined as not null and the csv file has missing data for
these
columns. (These columns  will contain blanks in the database).

Sqlldr wants to set  the missing fields to null, which results in record
rejected errors. Is there a way around this.  I would be happy if I could
insert
blanks or insert any other marker-value  into the field like '***'..
The input file lines looks something like   (01110,,,,1,1,31460)
Thanks
Chaim
