Tom,
I am afraid you are wrong there, a parameter file can be used to run a sqlloader script

The syntax that Fawzia uses is correct although as per imp/exp it would be better to put all the parameters in the parfile file

I spent years not knowing that and in frustration posted to the list and was immediately shown how to do it

Interesting to see if this reply makes it to the list as the last one I posted about 2 hours ago never got there.

John

Fawzia,

Try the following (change parfile= to control=)

sqlldr control=pants.ctl log=me.log

parfile is for imp/exp.

Good Luck!
