David,
Try removing the word "CONSTANT" from the string.
LOADDATE "TO_DATE('20030626', 'YYYYMMDD')",

Hi David,
Here's one of my control files, it works for me... LOAD_DATE is indeed
a date field.
OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE, PARALLEL=FALSE, BINDSIZE=1048576)
UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\FTPRoot\vegas\ascname.txt'
BADFILE 'D:\data\vegas\log\ascname.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'D:\data\vegas\log\ascname.dsc'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE ASCNAME_RAW
(
ID RECNUM,
AN_SITE POSITION(1:2) CHAR
NULLIF AN_SITE=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_NO POSITION(3:6) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_NO=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_NAME POSITION(7:36) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_NAME=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_LEGAL_NAME POSITION(37:80) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_LEGAL_NAME=BLANKS,
LOAD_DATE SYSDATE
)

I can't figure out how to specify a constant date for a column
in a SQL*Loader control file and can't find any examples.
I tried:
LOADDATE CONSTANT "TO_DATE('20030626', 'YYYYMMDD')",
but I get this error message in the log file:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was
expected
Can anyone tell me the correct syntax?
