Hi,
I use SQL Loader to load some data. But 'TRAILING NULLCOLS' is not very effective sometimes for the last column.

I get newlineCharacters,blanks for one of the column in the Oracle DB.

1) Can anyone suggest how to improve SQLLoader to trim newLine character,blanks.
My ctl file is as below:

LOAD DATA
REPLACE
INTO TABLE ALO1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ORDER_TYPE POSITION(1) "decode(:ORDERNo,null,'$',:ORDERNO)",
...
..
ABC "decode(:ABC,null,'$',:ABC)"
)
Sample file:
ABCD|40|ZS04||AM02|IN

2) How to manually trim newLinecharacters,blanks on the column in a table? I used trim as below but of no avail.
update ALO1 set ABC= trim(ABC)

Please advice

Regards,
Sham.
