CONTROL (control file)
CONTROL specifies the name of the control file that describes how to load data.
If a file extension or file type is not specified, it defaults to CTL. If
omitted, SQL*Loader prompts you for the file name.
Note: If your control filename contains special characters, your operating system will require that they be escaped. See your operating system documentation.
Note also that if your operating system uses backslashes in its filesystem paths, you need to keep the following in mind:
a backslash followed by a non-backslash will be treated normally. Two consecutive backslashes are treated as one backslash. Three consecutive backslashes will be treated as two backslashes. Placing the path in quotes will eliminate the need to escape multiple backslashes. However, note that some operating systems require that quotes themselves be escaped.
