sql*loader and long

I have a table that has one column declared to be long.

The long data which spans multiple lines, is being truncated when inserted into the table using SQL*Loader. SQL*Loader thinks that each newline is a new record. Silly thing.

SunOS 5.5.1 sparc SUNW, Ultra-2
Oracle 7.3.2

I cannot use Reclen since it is obsolete and has no effect. I've tried specifying "RECSIZE ##" in the control file, but I get SQL*Loader-500 Unable to open file (/blah) when using this.
I've tried specifying char(3000) after the column name in the control file, but this does not work either.

I've tried various delimiters, and even positional data. The newlines must be preserved in the data.

Unfortunately, I have not come across the correct combination.

What has been successful for you?

Thanks in advance,
