Hi,

How to specify sysdate with infile name?

load data
infile "to_char(sysdate,'yymmdd')||'.txt''
into build_te
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(a,
 b,
 c
)

infile " to_char(sysdate,'yymmdd')||'.txt' ''
Is this correct?

No you can't do this.

You should use external table instead of SQL*Loader, you can then give the infile name with SQL.
Otherwise, you have to dynamically modify the control file in your shell script that launches SQL*Loader.
