I am trying to see the data in my external table's data file. I was able to create the external table and see it in Toad. However, when I try the query the data inside the data file I get several errors (listed below). I've search the net and found nothing to address this error

ORA-29913: Error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters
KUP-01006: error signaled during parse of access parameters
KUP-00562: unknown escape sequence

Must have been Toad when creating the external table. Changing it to add a length doesn't solve the problem
