Ryan, Could you cat the second file on to the end of the first file and have the data load successfully? cat file2 >> file1
How about a second box to perform the editing of the data file. Something that resource intensive and manditory should not have a problem getting funded.

Per requirements, we have to add some data to the file before loading(its not negotiable). ksh eats up 24% of total CPU on a 4 CPU Solaris box. We cannot do this. I am not allowed to stream it with a named pipe. any other solutions? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
