Hi,
I am working on 10.2.0.3 database.
The requirement is to insert data from DAT file in to table.
I am using following file to insert data as in date2.csv file.

Data2.ctl

LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oracle/data2.csv'
CONTINUEIF LAST != "$"
INTO TABLE emp
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ename,eadd,emob)


Data2.csv

Jack ADD
RE
SS1 9740$
Mike ADD
RE
SS2 0456$


Command to execute sql loader -

sqlldr userid=mtest/mtest@rp10g control=data2.ctl log=data2.log


The current control file is inserting data like following -

ename eadd     emob 
Jack ADDRESS1 9740
Mike ADDRESS2 0456 


But now requrement is like following to insert data in to table ... \n (newline) should be visiable in column data..
As there is a new line in CSV file also in ename filed ....

Like

ename    eadd      emob 
Jack ADD\nRE\nSS1 9740
Mike ADD\nRE\nSS2 0456 


there are only 2 rows in table in this case ...

Any idea how to do this ....

Instead of using CONTINUEIF to check for $, you can specify $ as the record terminator. This will result in concatenation of the last linefeed to the beginning of the first field of the next record, so that needs to be trimmed. Please see the suggested revised control file below.

LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oracle/data2.csv' "str'$'"
INTO TABLE emp
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ename "LTRIM(LTRIM(:ename, CHR(13)),CHR(10))", eadd, emob)

Thanks for providing solution..
I need one more help from your side..
Actually now our client want to use following control file
I will do modification according you suggested.
But one change in this that is...client want to remove INFILE
clause from control file ,they want to specify DATA clause while
executing sqlldr command to provide data file path.
Please can u suggest if we remove INFILE claue from control file then where to put "str '| \n'" clasue..?

Control file --

LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oracle/sqlldr_test/data2.csv' "str '| \n'"
CONTINUEIF LAST != "$"
INTO TABLE emp
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ename,
edd ,
emob)

Just replace the filename in the control file with an asterisk:

INFILE * "str '$'"

Then specify the filename in the command line:

sqlldr userid=mtest/mtest@rp10g control=data2.ctl log=data2.log data='/home/oracle/sqlldr_test/data2.csv'
