I am not sure if it helps, but I would use:

- FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
- COMMENTS position(n:n+2000) where n=the offset of the first character of the field COMMENTS including delimiters
- ROW_POCESSED SEQUENCE(MAX,1)

Hi All,

Oracle 8.1.6 WinNT
I have been trying to use sqlldr and I am getting following error

Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "INTERVIEW", column COMMENTS. end of logical record found when reading length of varying length field

Here is sample record and control file.

Any ideas why I get this error. MetaLink says TRAILING NULLCOLS should correct. The field it is complaining is second to last field in input file.
