URGENT!! SQLLDR: How do I load a constant date with Direct Path?

I need to load a constant date into a column (01/01/2002) and I need to use direct path loading. I tried:

creation_date "to_date('01/01/2002','dd/mm/yyyy')",

SQL*Loader-417: SQL string (on column CREATION_DATE) not allowed in direct path.

This works with conventional path load. I have tried using constant and it gives me an error.

How do I get around this?

Thanks,
