Jeremiah,
Yes, I am going to use the exp/imp to load the data into test. But still
wanted to see if there was any way to load this type of data using sqlldr with
direct=true - for future reference.
There are multiple physical records because the linesize is not long enough
when the data is dumped. This particular table has many varchar columns.
Thanks,

Are you moving all rows or a subset of rows? If you are moving all rows
then you should consider exp/imp instead of sqlplus/sqlldr.

Are there multiple lines per row because there are CR/LFs embedded in the
column values, or because the linesize in sqlplus was not long enough when
you dumped the data?
