SQL Loader and control files with WHEN clauses

Question

Hi All :)
Want to load data into 3 tables that are defined like so:
SQL> desc PARENT
Name NULL? Type
PKey.........NOT NULL....Number
Blah_One.................VARHCAR2(50)
Blah_Two.................VARHCAR2(50)
SQL> desc CHILD_ONE
Name NULL? Type
PKey.........NOT NULL....Number
FKey.....................Number -- this is used as a Foriegn key to PARNET
Bleep_One................VARHCAR2(50)
SQL> desc CHILD_TWO
Name NULL? Type
PKey.........NOT NULL....Number
FKey.....................Number -- this is used as a Foriegn key to PARNET
Bleep_Two................VARHCAR2(50)
I have a flat file that looks like this
PARENT|BLAHBLAH|Blahba|
ONE|BLEEP-IT|
ONE|BLEEP-BLOP|
TWO|TWOBLEEP|
TWO|OR NOT TO|
TWO|BLEEP
PARENT|AbbaDabaDooo|whaaaaa|
TWO|waka=waka|
.... so I worte a control file that looks like this ....
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO PARENT
WHEN (tableName='PARENT')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' TRAILING NULLCOLS
tableName FILLER,
BLAH_ONE,
BLAH_TWO,
PKey "PARENT_SEQ.nextval"
INTO CHILD_ONE
WHEN (tableName='ONE')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' TRAILING NULLCOLS
tableName FILLER,
BLEEP_ONE,
PKey "CHILD_ONE_SEQ.nextval",
FKey "PARENT_SEQ.currval"
INTO CHILD_TWO
WHEN (tableName='TWO')
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' TRAILING NULLCOLS
tableName FILLER,
BLEEP_TWO,
PKey "CHILD_TWO_SEQ.nextval",
FKey "PARENT_SEQ.currval"
where PARENT_SEQ, CHILD_ONE, and CHILD_TWO
are SEQUENCES.
The probelm I am having is that the Fkeys and PKeys
don't match up????
Am I mis-using SEQUENCES?
Should I be using a trigger?
I am very confused!
Thanks
