sql loader and line feed [message #129808]

I have a flat file to import into oracle database by sql*loader. In this file, there are two fields which contain line feed character. I added str x'7c' into my control file. But everytime I tried import it only imports the first record. Those two fields containing line feed character are last two fields in the file.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I can't make it work.
May be i am missing something very basic.
I was able to load all lines, but the column values are whacked ( data in wrong columns, becuase of positions).
I guess the other alternative is to fix the datafile to our need before loading ( by somekind of scripting) or to load into a staging table in as-is condition and apply sql methods to get data or to use external tables.
I am still looking into it and will keep posted.

Thanks for your work. I figured it out just 5 minutes ago. I changed the flat file format to delimited. And changed the control file to match the delimited format. And it works fine.

Thanks to this site. I got a lot of good ideas from here.

i'm facing the same issue as line feed is getting appended in my table column. Can you please tel me how you made your flat file to be delimited so as to get the proper formatting.
