Hello all I have a sqlldr ctl file that I need to be able to dynamically create the file name based on the date.

i.e. infile 'order_inventory_200505.dat'

In the file example I need to append 200505 to the 'order_inventory.dat

is there a way to do this? can I use a shell variable?

Thanks,
dan Cool

I dont understand the requirement.
Your filename is order_inventory.dat.
Do you want to change the name to order_inventory_200505.dat and load it?

HI

Wats the OS u r using?

If UNIX use:
date +%Y%m for generating the reuired date format.

If windows use DOS date format utility "doff". U may need to download this.

Geberate the date in desired format and append the .dat file name with this date format.
I hope that'll solve the issue..
