Re: SQLLDR.exe

Still in the sql loader business...I am trying to load the following csv file in mydb.

2;72;"SBF INDUSTRY(AUTOMOBILES)";-1;;;;; using this command to invoke sqlldr:

sqlldr user/pass_at_DB control=c:\BENCHMARK.csv log=c:\log.tx

and then using this ctl file:

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\BENCHMARK.csv'
INTO TABLE ATTR_BENCHMARK1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
(ID NUMBER(10),
COUNTRY_ID NUMBER(5),
NAME CHAR(50) OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' , ACTIVITY_FLAG NUMBER(2),
UPDATE_DATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY",
JCFQUANT_CODE CHAR(50) OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' , DESC_ CHAR(60) OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' , CURRENCY_ID NUMBER(5)) The only answer i get is:

SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error in line1.
Keyword LOAD expected, "2" found.
2;72;"SBF INDUSTRY(AUTOMOBILES)";-1;;;;; ^

I feel desperate!
Is there anyone who could have a divine inspiration? thanks in advance
