You can use SQL * Loader to import data, with the following import settings:
Exclude pre-processing check (before SQL * Loader) – Checked
Use Direct Path Loads: – Checked
Use unrecoverable: – Checked
Modes import data: – APPEND

 Why DBF file is not loading?

The Demo of that program, checks and shows errors in DBF file headers.
Perhaps this is the problem.

Will you add the possibility to change field names and formats (at a loading stage)?

No, the main objective of this program is to quickly import data from DBF files. The change of field names and formats is much easier done in the Oracle database.
