the easiest way i do is to
load the datafile AS IT IS (ie, with 4 columns) into a 4 colum table dummy_TABLE.
then issue,

insert into TABLE1 (Select id,yyyy||mm||dd from dummy_table);
drop table dummy_table;

or

use simple utilities like this
here i have joined the first 3 fields and 6th field into a single field. now use this newfile to load into ur database using sql*loader
