My control file looks like,

Load data infile �expt.TXT�
Into table proc_code append
(
PROC_CD POSITION (1-20)
TYPE_DESC POSITION (21-25)
NAME POSITION (26-29)
POS5_20 POSITION (30-36)
REC_CREATE_DATE DATE
)

What i want to do is,
in the column REC_CREATE_DATE, i want to insert the current date (SYSDATE)..

Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much!

Here is an example control file for you:

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.dat'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE your_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
  (col1,
   col2,
   <b>col3 "SYSDATE"</b>)
