Dave,
 Perhaps you should define the length of the data in the control file
so it will not use
the default lengths.
 (DATACALL        INTEGER(2)
    ,QUESTIONID     INTEGER(10)
    ,ORGID              INTEGER(10) 
    ,ANSWER01        VARCHAR(4000)
    ,ANSWER02        VARCHAR(4000)
    )

I don't use sqlldr very often and I'm having a problem I don't
understand.

I'm getting this error: ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable
conversion requested
I've slogged thru the online sqlldr manual and the error manual, but
I'm not seeing why I'm getting this problem at all.  I've stripped out
all the fancy stuff I was trying to do, just to get the raw basics to
work.  But no luck!
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 

Here's a sample from the simple comma-delimited file I'm trying to
load:

3,1244,14,R4806W,17
3,1244,15,R6606,26
3,1244,16,R2901E,59
3,1244,17,R4501H,112
3,1244,19,R2516,0
3,1244,20,R6312,75

Here's the test table to load into:

SQL> descr ltest
 Name                          Type
 --------------------------- ---------------
 DATACALL                   NUMBER(2)
 QUESTIONID                NUMBER(10)
 ORGID                         NUMBER(10)
 ANSWER01                   VARCHAR2(4000)
 ANSWER02                   VARCHAR2(4000)

Control file I'm using:

LOAD DATA
    INFILE '1244.csv'
    BADFILE '1244.bad'
    DISCARDFILE '1244.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE ltest REPLACE
    FIELDS  TERMINATED BY ","  OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING
NULLCOLS
    (DATACALL        INTEGER(2)
    ,QUESTIONID     INTEGER(10)
    ,ORGID              INTEGER(10) 
    ,ANSWER01        VARCHAR
    ,ANSWER02        VARCHAR
    )                            
Here's the results I get from the log:

Table LTEST, loaded from every logical record.

TRAILING NULLCOLS option in effect
