How to make sqlldr handle mutliple NULL columns

572704Apr 30 2010 — edited May 3 2010
I am using TRAILING NULL COLS in the control file to tell SQL*Loader to treat any relatively positioned columns that are not present in the record as null columns.

But the problem is occuring when there are multiple NULL columns one after the other. In that case SQL*Loader is treating continuous null column as 1 NULL column and then I am getting following message:

ORA-12899: value too large for column

And reason being wrong value is being tried to inserted in wrong column.

How can I stop SQL*Loader from combining multiple and continuous NULL columns and basically to make it treat each of them separately.
