Ignore empty rows at end

Question

I have a csv file, which has empty lines at the end.
My controlfile has a default sequence, due to which it is uploading all the empty lines at the end.
How can i tell sql*loader to ignore these lines ?
load data append into table Test_Data_staging
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"' trailing nullcols          
SERIAL_NUMBER SEQUENCE(COUNT,1),
TEST_DATA_VERSION,
ENVIRONMENT,
TEST_DATA_OWNER
)

Hi,
you can add a when clause (WHEN firstcolumn != BLANKS), here is an example:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\Temp\Book1.csv'
BADFILE 'C:\Temp\Book1.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'C:\Temp\Book1.dsc'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE "XTEST"
WHEN (col1 != BLANKS)
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COL1,
COL2,
COL3)or if you want:
LOAD DATA APPEND INTO TABLE TEST_DATA_STAGING
WHEN (TEST_DATA_VERSION != BLANKS)
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
SERIAL_NUMBER SEQUENCE(COUNT,1),
TEST_DATA_VERSION,
ENVIRONMENT,
TEST_DATA_OWNER
{code}
