Manoj,

  Package variables retain their value for the duration of the _session_. Each SQL*Loader run is a new connection, therefore a new session (same user or not, it doesn't matter). The only way to have persistence between sessions is to store your values, well, in one of those good old relational tables. Read the value in the initialization section of your package (executed once per session), and let SQL*Loader roll.
