I'm hoping for expert assistance. I'm using SQL*Loader to load some
2200+ records (comma delimited) into a table and running into this
problem for the modcnt field:

The control file reads:

modcnt DECIMAL EXTERNAL <-- I'm sure this is where my problem is. I have
tried almost every datatype that the control file will accept - some
bleed into the next column which is a date field, messing up that
column, etc with ORA-01841 (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999,
and not be 0.

The datatype in the table is:

MODCNT NUMBER <-- no precision defined

The value in the file for this field is always 0. And when I start to
load the file, I receive this error (I'm testing with a few random
records from the 2200+ and each have the same error):

Record 1: Rejected - Error on table LC_F, column MODCNT.
ORA-01722: invalid number

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Saira
