SQL*LOADER Question. Please help.

Question

Hi List,
Below are my control and data files:(both files are stored on /Disk05)
terminal.ctl file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE = Disk05 erminal.dat
INTO TABLE TERMINAL_POSITION
FIELDS TERMINATED BY , ENCLOSED BY
TERMINAL_POSITION_ID VARCHAR2 TERMINATED BY , ENCLOSED BY ,
TERMINAL_POSITION_NAME VARCHAR2 TERMINATED BY ,
ENCLOSED BY ,
TERMINAL_POSITION_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2 TERMINATED BY ,
ENCLOSED BY
terminal.dat file:
A,Axial,Terminals extend from both ends in the direction of the major
axis of a cylindrical or elliptical package.
B,Bottom,Terminals extend from the bottom of the package.
D,Dual,Terminals are on opposite sides of a square or rectangular
package or located in two parallel rows.
for any reason, when entering
sqlldr username/password control = /Disk05/terminal.ctl log
=/Disk05/terminal.log data = /Disk05/terminal.dat
an error message shows:
segmentation fault.
Alternatively, when issuing
sqlldr userid = username/password control = /Disk05/terminal.ctl log
=/Disk05/terminal.log
data = /Disk05/terminal.dat
an error message shows:
lf iopn failed for file (terminal.log)
Please note that: I did create terminal.log that is stored on /Disk05
as well. Please anyone point out what did I do wrong. Your help is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Trang

Hi,
Thanks to your help,finally, I successfully loaded the data into the database without any errors. Just wanted to mention that I have an error in my control file. The line infile = '/Disk05/terminal.dat' should be infile '/Disk05/terminal.dat' # no equal sign (=) in between.
Again, Thanks alot.
