Thomas's idea worked. I had just found it when his very nice post showed up.

David,
Try changing it as follows:
(DATACALL terminated by "," ,
,QUESTIONID terminated by "," ,
,ORGID terminated by "," ,
,ANSWER01 terminated by "," ,
,ANSWER02 terminated by ","
)
SqlLdr gets weirded out when you start using things like INTEGER. If you just tell it how to get the data, it will convert it to the correct data type.
Hope this helps.

Subject: sql loader problem
I don't use sqlldr very often and I'm having a problem I don't understand.
I'm getting this error: ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested I've slogged thru the online sqlldr manual and the error manual, but I'm not seeing why I'm getting this problem at all. I've stripped out all the fancy stuff I was trying to do, just to get the raw basics to work. But no luck! Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0
Here's a sample from the simple comma-delimited file I'm trying to load:
3,1244,14,R4806W,17 3,1244,15,R6606,26 3,1244,16,R2901E,59 3,1244,17,R4501H,112 3,1244,19,R2516,0 3,1244,20,R6312,75
Here's the test table to load into:
SQL> descr ltest
Name Type --------------------------- --------------- DATACALL NUMBER(2) QUESTIONID NUMBER(10) ORGID NUMBER(10) ANSWER01 VARCHAR2(4000) ANSWER02 VARCHAR2(4000)
Control file I'm using:
LOAD DATA
INFILE '1244.csv'
BADFILE '1244.bad'
DISCARDFILE '1244.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE ltest REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(DATACALL INTEGER(2)
,QUESTIONID INTEGER(10)
,ORGID INTEGER(10)
,ANSWER01 VARCHAR
,ANSWER02 VARCHAR
)
Table LTEST, loaded from every logical record. Insert option in effect for this table: REPLACE TRAILING NULLCOLS option in effect
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype ------------------------------ ---------- ----- ---- ---- --------------------- DATACALL FIRST 2 INTEGER QUESTIONID NEXT 10 INTEGER ORGID NEXT 10 INTEGER ANSWER01 NEXT * VARCHAR ANSWER02 NEXT * VARCHAR
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table LTEST. ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
