Dear All,

Can anyone please tell me if LOAD WHEN clause is supported when positional parameters are used.

EG :

CREATE TABLE test (REC_TYPE NUMBER(1),

                         TITLE VARCHAR2(34),
                         FILLER1 VARCHAR2(5),
                         NO_SEASONS NUMBER(1),
                         FILLER2 VARCHAR2(150),
                         DATASET_SLNO VARCHAR2(3),
                         REC_SLNO VARCHAR2(6))

ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

 DEFAULT DIRECTORY testdir
 ACCESS PARAMETERS

 (              FIELDS RTRIM
                 (REC_TYPE POSITION(1:1),
                  TITLE POSITION(2:35),
                  FILLER1 POSITION(36:40),
                  NO_SEASONS POSITION(41:41),
                  FILLER2 POSITION(42:191),
                  DATASET_SLNO POSITION(192:194),
                  REC_SLNO POSITION(195:200))) 

 LOCATION ('oag.dat'));

Does Oracle LOAD WHEN with the Field Definition Clause. Otherwise how will I restrict the data to be linked to
an external table?

Thanks for all help in advance.

Best Regards
Jay
