SQL*Loader problem

I have following problem:
I need to import data from ascii into my ora-DB

e.g.

ascii-file contains:
bla1, foo1
bla2, foo2

the above should go into table mytable with three colums: f1,f2,f3

f1 should be filled with column1 of the ascii file, f2 with column2 and
f3 with some fix value "xxx"

so at the end the table should look like this:

f1 f2 f3
----- ----- -----
bla1 foo1 xxx
bla2 foo2 xxx

I know how to import the values correctly for f1 and f2, but no luck with f3 so far.

my simple control file looks like this:

LOAD DATA

	INFILE 'data.txt'
	append
	INTO TABLE mytable
	FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
	(f1,
         f2)

any ideas how the syntax is for adding a fix value for "f3" in here?

I checked the case studies of sql*loader in the oracle docs but must have overlooked something. I am pretty sure that must be possible with sql*loader.. no?

Thanks in advance,
