Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.  Used the to_date without the CONSTANT
and that did the trick.  You folks are wonderful!

Darlene,

Did you try:

deploydatetime  CONSTANT "to_date('04-OCT-2004 14:00:00','dd-MON-yyyy
hh24:mi:ss')",

You can also try this without the "CONSTANT" word.  Should work fine.

Good Luck.

Maybe someone can save my bloody head from beating it against the wall.
 

I'm using sqlldr 8.1.7 and I'm trying to load a file that needs
supplemental
constant values:

 

OPTIONS(SKIP=3D19)

LOAD DATA

INFILE 'WCA1MESO.csv'

APPEND

INTO TABLE erid.loaddiel

FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," Optionally enclosed by '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS

(

sonde               CONSTANT "33214",

deploydepth     CONSTANT ".64",

retrievaldepth  CONSTANT ".63",

deploydatetime  CONSTANT "04-OCT-2004 14:00:00", -- date format
DD-MON-YYYY
HH24MISS

 

blah, blah,blah

 

I've set my environment variable NLS_DATE_FORMAT to 'DD-MON-YYYY
HH24MISS',
but it still pukes on deploydatetime with the error
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
string"

 

Any ideas?

 

TIA

Bloody in FL.
