The question sign acts a NULL value specification. You should change
your
load command as follows:

 DATALOAD TABLE gsa_tab
   UPDATE DUPLICATES
   gsa_id                  1
   dty_id                  2
   min_snr                 3
   max_snr                 4
   start_date              5
   end_date                6 DEFAULT NULL
   description             7 DEFAULT NULL
 INSTREAM 'gsa.dat'
 COMPRESSED
 DELIMITER ''
 SEPARATOR ';'
 DATE EUR

and it'll do. This way you inform the Loader about the fact that it has
to
interpret a question sign (the default NULL value specification in data
files) for fields 6 and 7 as a NULL value rather than a real value.

 Steffen
