I am having two problems. The first occurs when I am trying to load time info into a table. The time data is in the format MM:SS. The fields within a record are delimited with |. I'm using the control statement

duration date 'mi:ss'

When I try loading the data, I get the following error message,

Record 1:Rejected - Error on table LDCACADLOAD, column DURATION.
ORA-01843: not a valid month

My second problem is that most of the data in duration is stored as MI:SS format. If by chance an hour has expired, the data appears as HH:MI:SS. Is there a way to load both of these formats together?

I should also mention that we behind the times and are still running 7.3.4.

Thanks in advance for any help
Rose

oracle stores time as part of date. so you have to supply date part when you want to insert value into date column. if you have only time part ,
change column datatype to varchar2.

I have another time field and it loads fine without any date information attached. That field is called CallTime and its format is

calltime date 'hh:miam'

So why does this field load and the other one doesn't?
