I imported data from a .csv file to oracle table. But the rows with empty values are not loaded. How to solve this problem? Here is my control file:
load data
infile 'c:/diagnosis.csv'
into table diagnosis
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(D1,
D2,
D3)

Some of D3 values are empty.

My table is very simple:
table Diagnosis
Column: D1 char(100),
        D2 char(100),
        D3 char(100)

If the data are like the following:
(row 1) aaaaaa  bbbbb   cccc
(row 2) fffjfj  fdfdf   fjjj
(row 3) fjfjfj  jfjjf
(row 4) jjjjjj  jjjjj

If i import the above data: row 3 and 4 are not loaded.

sqlldr should understand your terminator and fact that your rows have trailing null columns
try this.
load data
infile *
truncate
into table t1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09' trailing nullcols
 (D1,
 D2,
 D3)
begindata
aaaaaa  bbbbb   cccc
fffjfj  fdfdf   fjjj
fjfjfj  jfjjf
jjjjjj  jjjjj

8 rows selected.

All works perfectly except your "c:/" must be "c:\"

Sorry missed them.
Errors are:
Record 6: Rejected - Error on table DIAGNOSIS, column D3.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
Record 7: Rejected - Error on table DIAGNOSIS, column D3.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)

So just add TRAILING NULLCOLS as Mahesh showed it.

Regards
Michel
