I can't figure out how to specify a constant date for a column in a SQL*Loader control file and can't find any examples.

I tried:
  LOADDATE CONSTANT "TO_DATE('20030626', 'YYYYMMDD')", but I get this error message in the log file:   ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax?
