Answer 1

Remove line 32 - 62 under clause '35 REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS'
what I have written
CREATE TABLE PSOPRDEFN
OPRID VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
VERSION INTEGER ,
OPRDEFNDESC VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
EMPLID VARCHAR2(11 BYTE),
EMAILID VARCHAR2(70 BYTE),
OPRCLASS VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
ROWSECCLASS VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OPERPSWD VARCHAR2(32 BYTE),
ENCRYPTED INTEGER ,
SYMBOLICID VARCHAR2(8 BYTE) ,
LANGUAGE_CD VARCHAR2(3 BYTE) ,
MULTILANG INTEGER ,
CURRENCY_CD VARCHAR2(3 BYTE) ,
LASTPSWDCHANGE VARCHAR2(10) ,
ACCTLOCK INTEGER ,
PRCSPRFLCLS VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
DEFAULTNAVHP VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
FAILEDLOGINS INTEGER ,
EXPENT INTEGER ,
OPRTYPE INTEGER ,
USERIDALIAS VARCHAR2(70 BYTE),
LASTSIGNONDTTM VARCHAR2(22),
LASTUPDDTTM VARCHAR2(22),
LASTUPDOPRID VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
PTALLOWSWITCHUSER INTEGER
organization external
( default directory my_dir
access parameters
( records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
location ('listofuser.txt')
reject limit unlimited;I used the following to retrieve info from the table:
