In a broad sense, yes you can.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch10.htm#1007219
How are you going to identify and inform sqlldr that a record is 'header' or 'tail'?
Search the forum.
There are many examples around.

As said before, Search the forum before posting. many examples are around.
You can exclude the first and and lart records.
Post a sample datafile along with table defintions and which data should go where (after the load).

First and last records should go to controltb table
and rest should go to details table

Detail Table
create table details (rtyp varchar(10),sttpe varchar(10),st varchar(2),stdt varchar(30),stind varchar(2))

control Table

create table controltb (rtyp varchar(10),hdtpe varchar(10),stdate date,stdt varchar(30))

Datafile

You have to do some scripting.
What is your OS?
In unix it is easily possible
easiest method is to strip away the last and first line into a new file.
So you have two files now. Load them seperately.
Or
You can skip the first record (use skip=1)
You can also skip the last record use load=N-1 as said here
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/27004/0/
That will take care loading into detail table.
There is no pure sqlldr method (i am aware of) to skip all records in between header and detail .If you have a special record in header and tail, then you can use a where clause.
Something like
When specialcolumn= magicvalue
load into this table
when specialcolumn= nomagicvalue
load into another table.

If your datafiles will consistently have HDR and TRL values,
it is easy.
The case study i pointed you just does that.

I use UNIX k-shell. I think the suggestion you gave to create two separate files is good one. Can you please post a quick syntax to write first and last records from input file into other file using awk.

Thanks Again

you never answered my question.
>>If your datafiles will consistently have HDR and TRL values,
You no need any scripting at all.

Thanks a lot for your help.
One more question for you. I have a field in table number(10,2), but my data file has 0000009920(they are not sending me decimal point 99.20). How can I load this data in right format into the field like 99.20 instead of 9920

Thanks

There are many examples around.
This is just an sql functionality.
