Could you have a special character like cr or nl that is causing this problem or indicating the end of record before reading all fields?
-----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 3:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am loading data into an Oracle table (8.1.7 on W2000 server). I am skipping fields (via filler) because I don't need to load them. However, I am getting an error on one of the input fields (being skipped) - field in data file exceeds maximum length. The record is a tilde "~" delimited flat file. The field that is giving me the error is a lengthy character field - a bunch of English verbiage. There are no tildes in this lengthy string of characters. So, why would SQL Loader give me an error on a field I do not wish to load?
