I found the answer at:

The problem occurs because the default size for sqlldr is char(255). Find the column(s) you suspect might be very large and specify in the ctl file

COL1 CHAR(500) NULLIF COL1=BLANKS,
COL2 CHAR(500) NULLIF COL2=BLANKS, where COL1 and COL2 are the columns that are wider than the default 255 xters. Received on Tue May 22 2007 - 23:40:18 CEST
