RE: Imort Parameter File Question

Jay

   I hope my reply didn't sound harsh. You are right, it is always a good idea to briefly describe what you've tried since that will allow everyone to make better use of their time. I was just trying to point out one of the great benefits I've derived from the experts on this list (and I don't count myself one of them by any means) is that they tend to think up quick, ingenious tests. And I've learned something useful for import scripts myself.

Dennis:

I have tested through most of the common formats already, that is why I asked for help from the list.
Your advise about testing is noted, but in this case based on incorrect assumptions.
I used most of the major comments in PL/SQL, Java, etc. Though I missed trying the #, which per Barbara's reply seems to be the correct one.
In my next posting I will make sure that I list all steps taken.

Barbara was nice though to forward the below:

> log=export_to_null.log
> direct=y
> compress=n
