Dear frends,

I am using a version of Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production

I want  a Insert the following textfile data in a table BUY_TRAN.

DATAFILE FOR LOAD:

Your field-termination character is a space, so I'm guessing that SQL*Loader naturally considers the following space to be a field delimiter:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
40 CF 2600 002600000013756 L 2 CL0101 CL0101 61 TR0098 Oct 21 2004  2:32:06PM 2 0 2 -543100 GTD Oct 25 2004  2:32:06PM 0 1 0833        N 4920
                                                          ^
                                                          
                                                          
                                                          &#124

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If this were me, I would use positional notation instead of delimiters. When I pasted your data into Notepad, only row 15 (with its single-digit GROUPID of 2) looked out of whack.

So you could have your file as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note, I ran into problems with too-short field lengths: your table had price defined as a VARCHAR2(2), but in your file had a length of 7? Also, shouldn't a field like price have a datatype of NUMBER?

The other column definition that gave me problems was recid. Your table has it defined with a length of 1, but in the file, this column had a length of 4.

Let's be careful out there.
