Problem in Data Migration via. SQL*Loader

Question

Hi,
I am trying to load the data from a text generated file.
While using the slqldr command along with the url,".ctl", ".log",".bad" and ".dat" parameters, all the records goes to ".bad" file. Why?
Eventhouh it parse the control file successfully.
Anybody please help me in the matter.
I am sending the ".log" file generated during the transaction :

Hi,
I am bit late ,I cannot say bit, If we use TRAILING NULL COLS in the control file your problem should be fixed.
TRAILING NULLCOLS tells SQL*Loader to treat any relatively positioned columns that are not present in the record as null columns.
For example, if the following data
10 Accounting
is read with the following control file
INTO TABLE dept
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( deptno CHAR TERMINATED BY " ",
dname CHAR TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE,
loc CHAR TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
and the record ends after DNAME. The remaining LOC field is set to null. Without the TRAILING NULLCOLS clause, an error would be generated due to missing data.
