I was loading Large Data into a newly created table in Toad For Oracle 16.3 using SQL Loader with an Excel Data but i got error "Rejected - Error on table SCH_STRUCT_FIN.OFFSHORE_INV_COMM_MEETING_DATA, column COLLATERAL_FUNDING_REQUIREMENT . Field in data file exceeds maximum length"

and also Record 258: "Rejected - Error on table SCH_STRUCT_FIN.OFFSHORE_INV_COMM_MEETING_DATA, column TRIGGERING_EVENT_FOR_TRUST_CONVERSION.
no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field.



My VARCHAR2 is already set on 4000 but still getting the same error in SQL Loader.


Please help with solution

I suspect your data is not being interpreted correctly and thus sql loader just keeps appending data to an existing field.

But we'd need to see test cases, control files and log files - otherwise we're flying blind
