SQL-Loader: handling excess data fields in file

I am currently experiencing a strange SQL Loader behaviour. I have to load files with delimited data fields into the DB. one line in the file is one row in the table. if there are too few fields in a line Loader gives an error or I can use the "trailing nullcols" option. but the opposite error case of too many fields in a line is not handled by Loader in any way. Is there anything I could do to elicit some reaction from Loader?

I, could of course, write a Tool for checking the data file beforehand. but that is not a currently favored solution.

thanks,
