Hi there I have a data file like this :-

'A/147171';'T2549670';'T2549670';'';'01/07/2005';.... rest of data

The job is falling over on the date field saying
a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

How do I get SQL Loader to ignore the 's - How do I get optionally enclosed to work with single quote


regards
bob..

I believe the error is generated due to two single quotes before date value and as you can see no data is present.

It would be helpful if you post the control file and excerpt from data file .


And OS, Oracle versions also.

Try adding the clause
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY X'nn'

where nn is the hex for the quote character (sorry, can't look it up myself right now). Or this might work:
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY X''''
