SQL*Loader: Record separaters...

I am looking for information on how I can set an end of record indicator in the control file when loading data into a 7.x database.
This very large data file (340MB) is tab delimited.
There are no quotes around string values and some values contain comma's within them.
My dilemma is that a field within each record contains multi-line text
using carriage returns. I would like to set an end of record indicator
(~) in the control file if possible, to define where the end of a record
is found, seeing that I cannot use carrige returns.
I have tried the following and am receiving a syntax error.
ex.
Load data
Infile *
Into Table Emp
Insert
Fields Terminated by X'09'
(
empno,
empname,
empnotes
record terminated by X'7E' or ... by '~' ??????
)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
