In other words, there is no character which marks the end of a data value, so the entire line is a single data value. Would DELIMITER NULL make sense? The existing values are literal strings so NULL fits with that. Do we already have NONE as a keyword somewhere? It's listed in the keyword appendix to the documentation but I can't think of where it is used off the top of my head.
