Actually, I was thinking:

        creation_date           sysdate+17

...because I've used it before without the "+17" (days).  But of course
that's syntactically incorrect.  :(  SQL*Loader doesn't like the "+17"
there.

Sorry...   :(

I tried this and got the same error.  

creation_date "date (sysdate + 17 'mm/dd/yyyy')",

SQL*Loader-417: SQL string (on column CREATION_DATE) not allowed in direct
path.

Any ideas as to how to get this to work?

Thanks,
Ken

Without the ability to try this, would "SYSDATE + 18" (or is it "19"?) work
in place of the "to_date"???

Wondering aloud...

I am getting the following error for this line of code in my control file

Any ideas of how I can get around this?  When I try a conventional path load
I get a FK constraint error (not on this field).

creation_date "to_date('01/01/2002','dd/mm/yyyy')",

SQL*Loader-417: SQL string (on column CREATION_DATE) not allowed in direct
path.
