You can either use:

load=10

in your command line or use:

options(load=10)

on the first line of your control file.

You can also use skip in your command line:

skip=4

or in your control file:

options(skip=4)

You can combine load and skip. Alternatively, you can load your data into a staging table and use SQL to select the rows that you want to insert into your target table.

Your requirements change rather frequently. What problem are you trying to solve, really?

As previously stated, you can load your data into a staging table and use SQL to select the rows that you want to insert into your target table.
