you can call sql functions within the control-statements, for instance I'm currently moving a large dbase-DB to oracle using control files with statements like this:

T_AGENT CHAR(22) TERMINATED BY '{{@' "SUBSTR(REPLACE(:T_AGENT,'\\n',' '),0,11)",

With substr and replace you could easily get what you want.
