I am trying to use external tables, but 
  can't seem to find one thing that I'd like (I have already RTFM'd but may have 
  missed some part).
  
Is there a way I could load the line number 
  of the text file as a column in the table? line number isn't hard coded but 
  can record number be used (somehow)?
  
Any ideas? TIA 
Raj
