SQL*Loader-00402: Unable to determine length of column
string from specification



SQL*Loader-00402: Unable to determine length of column string from specification..

Answer / guest

Cause: The specified datatype does not have an implied
length (for example, a numeric external or RAW datatype), it
is not specified with delimiters, no length was specified,
and a length cannot be determined from a POSITION clause.

Action: If a POSITION clause is specified, adding an end
location to it produces a length specification. This clause
then has the form POSITION(start:end) A length can also
specified after the datatype, as in INTEGER EXTERNAL (6)
Finally, the field could be specified with delimiters, or
the datatype changed to one that has an implied length.
