The following worked perfectly in Oracle 9.2.0.4

LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE STOCK_DATA
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' (CODE, NBTYPE, YEAR, PERIOD, IS_ESTIMATE, VALUE ) BEGINDATA

SIEGn.DE,DBFI058,1989,A,N,10684.102654
SIEGn.DE,DBGE001,1989,A,N,370000.000000
SIEGn.DE,DBGE002,1989,A,N,365000.000000
SIEGn.DE,DBIA001,1989,A,N,18693.802631
SIEGn.DE,DBIA002,1989,A,N,11586.385320
SIEGn.DE,DBIA003,1989,A,N,6335.300000
SIEGn.DE,DBIA004,1989,A,N,2797.500000
SIEGn.DE,DBIA005,1989,A,N,4768.400000
SIEGn.DE,DBIA008,1989,A,N,7107.417311

running sqlldr as:
C:\oracle\ora92\bin> sqlldr userid=abc/abc control=c:\temp\test

SQL*Loader is easy. The question is what are you doing, or not doing that is not in your posting?
