SQL Loader and table views

Question

I am having a problem updating a large partitioned table through it's appropriate view. Here is the loader file
LOAD DATA               
INSERT INTO TABLE test.example               
     (      PROGRAM POSITION(1:4) CHAR,
          DWING_NUMBER     POSITION(6:32) CHAR,
          LAST_ISSUED_REVISION     POSITION(34:35) CHAR,
          TEMP_NUMBER     POSITION(37:43) CHAR,
          CONFIGURATION_ITEM     POSITION(45:45) CHAR,
          LOCATION_CODE     POSITION(47:47) CHAR
It generates this error:
SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-26018: Column PROGRAM in table test.example does not exist
There are a few considerations that go along with this, and I am developing a strong disdain for the 2 dba's that are involved. First, this view accesses a large partitioned table, all according to "PROGRAM". Secondly, PROGRAM is called PROG_ID in the main table. I didn't think this was an issue at first, but it seems like it might be part of the problem I'm having. We're running Oracle 9.2.0 here. Any helpful replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is what the view looks like:
Column / Data Type / Null? / Updatable
PROGRAM VARCHAR(10) N y
DWING_NUMBER VARCHAR(28) N y
LAST_ISSUED_REVISION VARCHAR(2) Y y
TEMP_NUMBER VARCHAR(7) Y y
CONFIGURATION_ITEM VARCHAR(1) Y y
LOCATION_CODE VARCHAR(1) Y y
The main table that this view grabs data from is identical, except for the fact that PROGAM is PROG_ID. I'm fairly new to doing database work, so if the answer is trivial please spare my self esteem.
formatting sucks
