this is running on windows

I have a script creating a txt file (in csv file format) which I want to import into an oracle table using sqlldr
but it is erroring with a
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table RFGDBA.TS_SESSION_SNAPSHOT, column SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0


this happens for every record in the input file

data
2014/03/21 15:12,andrew.huggon,rdp-tcp#1,2,Active,6,21/03/2014 14:53,eu1ptsw001
2014/03/21 15:12,mick.westwood,rdp-tcp#5,3,Active,9,21/03/2014 14:58,eu1ptsw001


ctl file
Load Data 					
   append into table rfgdba.TS_SESSION_SNAPSHOT
fields terminated by ',' trailing nullcols
  ( 						
  snapshot_timestamp DATE "YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI",
  username,			
  session_name,			
  id,				
  state,			
  idle_time,			
  logon_time DATE "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI",		
  ts_name				
   )

table definition
CREATE TABLE RFGDBA.TS_SESSION_SNAPSHOT
(
  SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP  DATE,
  USERNAME            VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
  SESSION_NAME        VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),

  IDLE_TIME           NUMBER,
  LOGON_TIME          DATE,
  TS_NAME             VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
)


command calling sqlldr
sqlldr PHANTOM/m0nit0r@RICSBA1 data=%%i control=c:\ts_users\sqlload_ts_users.ctl log=c:\ts_users\sqlfiles\%%~ni.log bad=c:\ts_users\sqlfiles\%%~ni.bad discard=c:\ts_users\sqlfiles\%%~ni.dis direct=TRUE skip=0 rows=20000 errors=100000


Confused I cannot fathom why this is erroring

thanks I checked the link,
the input record has 2 different date formats in different fields

I tried following the example but got an error

new ctl file
Load Data 					
   append into table rfgdba.TS_SESSION_SNAPSHOT
fields terminated by ","
DATE FORMAT "YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI"
  ( 						
  snapshot_timestamp,
  username,			
  session_name,			
  id,				
  state,			
  idle_time,			
  logon_time DATE "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI",		
  ts_name				
   )


gives error

Are those two sample records the ones you (Rob) tried to load?

Yes, they are held in a separate file.

Check it does not contain other things (lines, non-printable characters...) than what you posted.
Copy and paste its content in the control (as I did) and try to load.

I tested on Oracle version 11.2.0.1.0, the same as the original poster, with the data in a separate file, and it works for me as well. So, I have to also suspect there is some leading character that is not being copied and pasted.

You can find a Windows hexa-editor on the web and load your file in it.

I found the solution (well for new data fileS)

I have added '-Encoding ASCII ' to the Out-File statement in my data file creation script.

so files are now ok - but......

I have a field that is seconds, but the value in the data file can sometimes be larger ie shows as mi:ss, so the records are being rejected, I have changed it to a character field as although I want the data included, I dont need to do anythign with it.

Many thanks all of you for your help
