Could any one help me in fixing the issue...
I've tried increasing the value for MULTI_VALUED_FIELD to varchar2(300) to varchar2(800) but there is no change in the records loaded.....
I'm really not sure whether the data file consist of any ascii characters...if there are any then how can I check or get rid of them...
Any suggestions...
