Is it possible to skip fields while loading? I have a delmitted file with about 6 or 7 fields. Of which, I want to skip fields 2 and 3. So, I would load field 1 into a table column then I want to skip over fields 2 and 3; and continue loading the rest of the fields into the table. want to load these fields.
The fields are varying length, so I can't use POSITION. There is a SKIP keyword, which I think just skips logical records not fields.

Thanks for the help!
