Need help in writing the control file for SQLLOADER

Question

Is it possible to error out the Sqlloader in case the data fields in the data file for a row are more than the fields stated in the control file?
i.e. My data file is something like
aaa,bbb,cc
dd,eee
And my ctl file has just 2 columns in it. Is it possible to write a control file which will cause the Sqlloader to error out?
Thanks...

Nisha,
Again I posted test example in your other post but here is how can do that
CREATE TABLE mytest111 (
   col1 NUMBER,
   col2 NUMBER,
   col3 NUMBER
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE MYTEST111
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
col1 integer external,
col2 integer external
#mytest.dat
1,2,3
1,2
