While loading data into table, i need to ignore following field from the file which is not in my table.
wUNIT2A
volUnit2A
My table is exactly in same order as file except above two fields (wUNIT2A and volUnit2A).
wUNIT2A field comes into file after G_WGHT and volUnit2A field comes after VOL.
How can i avoid while laoding this kind of file into table?

Thanks,

Thanks Brian and Micheal,
I mis-understood, sorry about it.
I was using filler filed like w-UNIT2A, which is in incoming file map doc i was received but i changed it to wUNIT2A FILLER and then it works.
Quote:

I am having still other issue that one fo the filed length is in table is char and when i see the rejected log then i saw that few records get rejected due to length problem.
I have checked actual file found the data like:
123 ==> loading corrctly
1234 ==> Loadind correctly
12345 but this kind of records getting rejected becuase when i move the right cursor, its not moving to next field value but going one more char (white space), how can i handle this?
My control file is:
LOAD DATA
infile 'tab.txt'
DISCARDMAX 999
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TAB_Table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
fields...
....
)


Thanks,

Thanks for fixing format.

Actually i used TRIM function and its working.
I am trying to use WHEN for conditional loading (AND and OOR)but it won't me let to use OR as i know it won't support.
I have to load data from file for following condition.

if A_UOM = 'U' and d_Ch = '1' and S_ORG = 'U02' then div= 'Z' OR S_ORG = 'U03' then div= 'G' OR S_ORG = 'U04' then div= 'C'


How can I use both AND and OR clause in when condition?

Thanks,

A when clause is used for determining which table to load into or not. What you are describing is just a condition for determining the value of one column. Just use decode or case or a function and put your conditions in there in your field list, remembering to put a colon in front of the other column names in the condition expression:

div "decode (...)"
