I'm trying to load an sql loader data file that has no file extension. ( eg. file is called abcd )
sql loader seems to insist on assuming there is a .dat extension on the file. I've tried single quotes, double quotes and every other combination.
I don't want to rename or copy the data file as they are stored in production and very large.
I'm running on hp-ux.

eg.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'abcd'
INTO TABLE table1
etc.

produces the error message:
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (abcd.dat)
HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory

Create a symbolic link to the file.

ln -s abcd abcd.dat
sqlloader ...
unlink abcd.dat
