Decode Not working in sql loader

Question

I had a requirement of loading flatfile into staging table using SQL Loader, One of the columns in the the Flat file is having values FALSE or TRUE and my requirement is that I load 0 for FALSE and 1 for TRUE which can be achieved by simple DECODE function...I did use decode and tried to load several times but did not work. What might be the problem
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sql_4ODS.txt'
BADFILE 'SQL_4ODS.badtxt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE members
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
( Person_ID,
FNAME,
LNAME,
Contact,
status "decode(:status, 'TRUE', '1','FALSE','0')"
I did try putting a trim as well as SUBSTR but did not work....the cloumn just doent get any values in the output (just null or say free space)
Any help would be great.....

Hello user8937215.
Please provide a create table statement and a sample of data file contents. I would expect DECODE or CASE to work based on the information provided.
