1. I am using a variable-length control file delimited by
2. A column in database is a varchar(25).This field represents 40th column in database (total 50 columns).
3. In case my datafile has data for this column exceeding length of 25, I want the sqlloader to take the first 25 characters and load them into the database, instead of rejecting the record complaining 'exceeded the length'.

I tried in my ctl: column_name position(*:*+22) which did not work.

Thanks
kap

Hello Kap

you can try this:

column_40 "substr (:column_40, 1, 25)",

instead of

column_40,

Why do not use substr(...,1,25) FUNCTION TO GET FIRST 25 CHARACTER.
