You might want to look into the 'defaultif' option in the control file.

Maybe some could help me.
I'm having trouble trying to load a csv file with sqlldr. The destination table
has char columns defined as not null and the csv file has missing data for these
columns. (These columns will contain blanks in the database).

Sqlldr wants to set the missing fields to null, which results in record rejected errors. Is there a way around this. I would be happy if I could insert
blanks or insert any other marker-value into the field like '***'.. The input file lines looks something like (01110,,,,1,1,31460) Thanks
Chaim
