Hi -

I'm in desparate need of some help with my control file for SQL*Loader.  I'm loading data into a date field and it's giving me an error that I'm trying to insert a non-numeric value into a numeric field.  I also need to specify to make the field null if there's no value for the date field.  Here's what I have and it say's it's missing a comma:

PROG_START_DT "to_date(:PROG_START_DT, 'M/D/YYYY H:MM:SS') NULLIF PROG_START_DT=BLANKS",

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!
