Hello,

I have a following situation.
I have a multibyte datafile which looks something like this :

231Марјан Николић 34
345Велимир Ћоровић 45
465Дунђерски Панта 56

And for the sake of simplicity a table structure like this :

CREATE TABLE LOADER_TEST (
USR_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
USR_NAME VARCHAR2(50) ,
control number
);

When trying to load it with sqlloader with this control file :

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'loadertest.txt'
BADFILE 'loadertest.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'loadertest.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE murga.loader_test
TRAILING NULLCOLS

(USR_ID POSITION(1:3) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
USR_NAME POSITION(4:21) CHAR,
CONTROL POSITION(22:23) INTEGER EXTERNAL)

I get the following :

Record 1: Rejected - Error on table MURGA.LOADER_TEST, column CONTROL.
Multibyte character error.
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table MURGA.LOADER_TEST, column CONTROL.
Multibyte character error.
Record 3: Rejected - Error on table MURGA.LOADER_TEST, column CONTROL.
Multibyte character error.

my NLS_LANG is American_America.Al32UTF8

I cannot change the datafile since it is part of automation process.

Please help
Tnx in advance

Use CHARACTERSET Parameter to tell Oracle with which character set your file is written.
