When I try to load a .TXT file into an Oracle table, the following message is given at the command prompt;
SQL*Loader-524: partial record found at end of datafile
and the load is not successful. The control file is as follows;
Load Data
INFILE 'c:\bsp\ledlsubj.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE tblSubjectiveCode
(
SUBJ_DESCR POSITION(01:40),
ENTITY POSITION(42:42),
FUND_CTRL POSITION(44:44),
L_SUBJ_CODE POSITION(46:49),
L_SUBJ_KEY POSITION(51:60),
M_SUBJ_CODE POSITION(62:65),
STOP_IND POSITION(67:67),
XSERVICE POSITION(69:69),
YR_LETTER POSITION(71:71)
)
Could the .TXT file causing any problems ? Suggestions appreciated. TIA

Hi Chella,
You need a blank new line at the bottom of
cotrol file and datafile.
In your case it says datafile.
Hence append a new empty line at the bottom of the txt file.

Hi Bala
Thank U. It worked. Why does it require a blank line at the end of either the control or data file or both files ? This datafile is going to be extracted from mainframe everyday and loaded into the Oracle table. This will be a scheduled job and I am just wondering whether any absense of a blank line is going to cause any future problems. Again, thank U for your help

Hi Chella......
Sqlloader uses the new line charecter as termination point. So at the end of the data file
you need a new line to terminate your last record,
other wise it will think the record is partial.
For your batch you can have
a file with empty line and append it to the datafile every time before load.
C> type empty_line.txt >> data.txt
C> sqlldr80 ...........................
Thanks
Bala

Hi,
I know a little, still a lot to learn.
I have been working on oracle products for the past 4 yrs or so.....
Since you are beginner, i would suggest you to take oracle OCP certification tests.
That will make you to learn all five major sections of oracle database server(from sql to networking).
visit http://education.oracle.com/certification
for more details.........
Good Luck
Bala.

Hi
I am actually being trained to be an Oracle Developer (haven't done the OCP, would like to at some point though) but I am at the moment the analyst for our first Oracle Project and I have to sort out few DB side issues as well. So, there U are. Anyway, have a nice weekend. Will ask you more questions if in doubt!

Do you think it is still there waiting on this topic after more than 10 years?
Explain in details what is your problem and Oracle version BUT create a new topic for that and let the zombie rest in peace.

Michel
