Hi,
I am using sqlloader to load data from csv file to a table. csv file format is as below. And the condition is to load only data from locations DHL and ABC
item loc scheddate qty
10000001     DHL     7/13/2011     100
1000002     DHL     7/14/2011     10
101     ABC     7/15/2011     1000
10000002     ABC     7/16/2011     100
100 X 7/16/2011 0
and I am loading into table tab1
(note: there are few other cols which are nullable and don't want to isnert them)
here is the code I have written
LOAD DATA
INFILE file1.csv'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE tab1
WHEN (LOC = 'DHL')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
ITEM,
LOC,
SCHEDDATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY",
QTY,
EXPDATE DATE (:SCHEDDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'),
STARTDATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY" ":SCHEDDATE",
SEQNUM SEQUENCE(1000,1),
ORDERNUM CONSTANT "2",
INTEGRATION_JOBID CONSTANT "RBI603"
INTO TABLE igpmgr.INTINS_SCHEDRCPTS
WHEN (LOC = 'ABC')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
ITEM,
LOC,
SCHEDDATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY",
QTY,
EXPDATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY" "to_char(to_date(:SCHEDDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY')+365,'DD/MM/YYYY')",
STARTDATE DATE "MM/DD/YYYY" ":SCHEDDATE",

ORDERNUM CONSTANT "2",
INTEGRATION_JOBID CONSTANT "RBI603"

Hello Ravi,
Based on your sample data, adding commas to match the field terminators specified in the control file:10000001,DHL,7/13/2011,100
1000002,DHL,7/14/2011,10
101,ABC,7/15/2011,1000
10000002,ABC,7/16/2011,100
100,X,7/16/2011,0Consider the following:LOAD DATA
INFILE test.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE tab1
WHEN (LOC = 'ABC')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( ITEM
, LOC
, SCHEDDATE          DATE "MM/DD/YYYY"
, QTY                                                -- moved to the fourth column to match the order presented in the sample data
, EXPDATE            DATE "MM/DD/YYYY"               -- changed specified date format to use double quotes instead of single quotes and swapped order of DD & MM to match SCHEDDATE in sample data, but also not present in the sample data, so would expect this to be treated as null, so not sure why it is specified
, STARTDATE          DATE "MM/DD/YYYY" ":SCHEDDATE"
, SEQNUM             SEQUENCE(1000,1)
, ORDERNUM           CONSTANT          "2"
, INTEGRATION_JOBID  CONSTANT          "RBI603"
INTO TABLE tab1
WHEN (LOC = 'DEF')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( ITEM               POSITION(1)                     -- added POSITION(1) to allow sqlldr to start reading from the beginning of the line
, LOC
, SCHEDDATE          DATE "MM/DD/YYYY"
, QTY                                                -- moved to the fourth column to match the order presented in the sample data
, EXPDATE            DATE "MM/DD/YYYY"               -- not present in the sample data, so would expect this to be treated as null, so not sure why it is specified
, STARTDATE          DATE "MM/DD/YYYY" ":SCHEDDATE"
, SEQNUM             SEQUENCE(1000,1)
, ORDERNUM           CONSTANT          "2"
, INTEGRATION_JOBID  CONSTANT          "RBI603"
