Re: SQL Loader 524 Error: How to Prevent?

I looked in the SQL*Loader generated log file and it reports that all records were loaded ok. When I do a query on database with Oracle SQL Worksheet it says that there are no records in database(used select count(*) from table). SQL*Loader says it loaded records successfully. When I remove the eof character or any characters at the end of my file, the records are loaded successfully and Oracle SQL Worksheet verifies this.

Very Puzzled@#%?
