Import Error 297 [message #184142]

Hello,

hopefully anyone can help me. I recieve the folowing message on trying to load a textfile using the sql-loader:

SQL*Loader-297: Ung�ltige Syntax oder Bindevariable in SQL-Folge f�r Spalte "TEST".
ORA-01756: Anf�hrungsstrich fehlt bei Zeichenfolge

(In English it would something like:
SQL*Loader-297: Invalid syntax or bindvariable in SQL-Statement for column "TEST"
ORA-01756: Quoted string not properly terminated)

We played around with different testfiles and results showed that it is only a problem with textfields (as the second message supposes).
The problem is that the same ctl file and the same client version on another PC works fine, so it seems to be a configuaration problem. Does anyone has an idea what may be the difference and where i can find it?

Thanks in advance...

Works good for me too (9.2.0.4, Sun8, Sunblade100).
In your case, are the OS/Oracle version different in those machines?

There are a few known bugs in 10gR2 that are very unhappy with sqlldr.
Could you try something like this?

LOAD DATA
  INFILE  'test.data'
  Append
INTO TABLE test
  REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
  WHEN (1) = '5'
  (   
  TEST POSITION (2:10) "trim(:TEST)||'(RX)' "
  )

The way the character strings are treated.
>>is there a list of known problems with sqlldr/10gR2?
That would be cool.
Check metalink.
