Looking for a way in Unix to pass a variable into a Sqlloader control, and then use that as a constant. Database version is 7.3.4
I tried something like: ---- control file ------- $1 = filename . . . . . SOURCE_FILE CONSTANT "$SOURCE_FILE" . . . When running, I get the error: SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 13. Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters $1=SOURCE_FILE It does not like the $ on the imput variable. Anyone have any ideas or a work around? TIA. John "K" Line America, Inc.
