what is the use of Ignore EOF ortion while loading a table file

[#1]

i am facing a problem here when tryig to load a text file it is only taking only 20K records but actually there are 60k records

and i tried this option ignore eof but i do not know why we use for it

can any one help me on this

Hi,

     This may be because there will be a blank line after that record from where the data is not coming.

     Kindly check the txt file.

We had this probablem because the file contained some odd characters (SUB for one). When we added the ignore EOF option, the entire file would load.

Responding since I was looking for the same info and found the answer to the basic question on eof.

Its specifically for text files as I understand. See link below for detail.
