It's a separator of some sort...one might expect tabs (hex 09) there, perhaps. Use GUI_UPLOAD, WS_UPLOAD is obsolete...try with file_type = 'ASC' , has_field_separator = 'X' and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Muhammad,

Don't use WS_UPLOAD, it is now obsolute.

Use GUI_UPLOAD.

give file type as 'ASC' AND has field separator = 'X' (if you file is tab deliminated).
