Anyone in the position to convert below script which is using sed to a script using awk. Basically, we are adding unrecoverable, path ddumps/../../dataciti_master and append to existing ctl files. This is very urgent.

for FILE in `ls -1 *.test`

I believe this is off-topic here ...
Anyway (backup your data before running the script, or just change mv to cp):

... and this will take care of eventual pathological characters in your ctl filenames.

awk 'END { close(fn); system("mv " fn " " ofn) } FNR == 1 {
  if (fn) { close(fn); system("mv \47" fn "\47 \47" ofn "\47") }   print "unrecoverable" > (fn = FILENAME "__new")   ofn = FILENAME
  }
{
  sub(/infile \47/, "&/DDUMPS/sybase_dump/out/DATACITI_MASTER/Oracle/")   /into table/ && $0 = "append " $0; print > fn   }' *.ctl
