Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Constant Date in SQL*Loader Control File
Thanks Lisa. But regrettably my LOADDATE isn't always SYSDATE. Do you know
the syntax for an arbitrary date?

Hi David,
Here's one of my control files, it works for me... LOAD_DATE is indeed a date field.
OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE, PARALLEL=FALSE, BINDSIZE=1048576)
UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\FTPRoot\vegas\ascname.txt'
BADFILE 'D:\data\vegas\log\ascname.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'D:\data\vegas\log\ascname.dsc'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE ASCNAME_RAW
(
ID RECNUM,
AN_SITE POSITION(1:2) CHAR
NULLIF AN_SITE=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_NO POSITION(3:6) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_NO=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_NAME POSITION(7:36) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_NAME=BLANKS,
AN_ASSOC_LEGAL_NAME POSITION(37:80) CHAR
NULLIF AN_ASSOC_LEGAL_NAME=BLANKS,
LOAD_DATE SYSDATE
)

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?
