Hi, could any one please help?

I can't use the following command in the different directory that controlfile.ctl is located.

%sqlldr userid=demo/demo control='/home/mydir/orac/data/controlfile.ctl' log =loader.log

The error is:
LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter 'control'

But if in the same directory with controlfile.ctl, sqlldr works fine!

Thanks,
votey

Is there a space between log and = in the command ??

TRY:

%sqlldr userid=demo/demo control='/home/mydir/orac/data/controlfile.ctl' log=loader.log

I've got the solution: the control parameter shouldn't be quoted. I think the space doesn't matter. Thanks any way!

You have to enclose the whole path of the control as well as log files in single quotes.

HI, I need your helps!
I have to load data from a dbf file to Oracle. I wrote a program in Visual basic and It did well. But Now I have a trouble. sometimes My program can't load data from a dbf file but it still does well with other dbfs. When I debug, I found and error like Votey: LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter 'control'.
But when I run my program in other computer to load the dbf file I couldn't load , it did well.
So I don't understand what happened. Please help me! Thank u very much.

It is saying that somehow you are attempting to use two different values for control when only one is allowed. Please see the following demonstration, in which I have first attempted to use two values for control and no records are loaded, then I have used only one value and the rows load. I don't know what your code looks like or how you are passing your parameters, but that is what is happening.

-- does not work before there are two values for control:
scott@ORA92> host sqlldr scott/tiger control=test.ctl,test2.ctl

scott@ORA92> select * from test_tab
  2  /

no rows selected


-- works because there is only one value for control:
scott@ORA92> host sqlldr scott/tiger control=test.ctl

scott@ORA92> select * from test_tab
  2  /

      COL1 COL2
---------- -----
         1 test1
         2 test2

scott@ORA92>
