This specifies the name of the file to receive any error reports. ERROR_FILE error-file-name An error file is useful since the IMPORT command is performing bulk operations that can result in errors scrolling off the screen. Errors are written into the file as comments, followed by the line from the input file that caused the error. This allows you to use the error file as an IMPORT input file, after correcting the errors. Using this method, only those operations that resulted in an error will be re-tried. If not specified, all errors are sent to the screen.
