RE: SQL Loader error

The first is a SQL loader error:
SQL*Loader-00621 Field in data file exceeds maximum length Cause: A field exceeded its maximum allowable length. The maximum length is either the length specified in the SQL*Loader control file, or, for delimitable fields without a length specified, the maximum length of the corresponding database column (for char, varchar columns).

The second error is from the database like putting 999 into a two digits field:
ORA-01401 inserted value too large for column Cause: The value entered is larger than the maximum width defined for the column.
