How to create a load job in Oracle 9i

Question

How do you create a basic load job in Oracle 9i? I'm really struggling with the syntax.
This is what I have so far and its not working. I am a Microsoft SQL Jr. DBA, Oracle is not a strong point :/.
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
VARIABLE jobno NUMBER
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno,
'load data',
'infile oracle.csv',
'into TABLE HUB.PROVLKUP_LOAD_MATT',
'fields terminated by "|"',
'TRAILING NULLCOLS',
'(PROV_NO,PROV_NAME,FIRST_NAME,MI,TITLE,ADDRESS,CITY,COUNTY,STATE,ZIP,PHONE1,PHONE2,SPECIALTY,TAX_ID,PROV_NETWORK,EFF_DATE,TERM_DATE,PROV_TYPE,DO_NOT_REFER,DNR_DATE,DO_NOT_USE,NOTES)',SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1');
   COMMIT;
END;I actually want this job to be only run by the DBMS_JOB.Run command and not on auto schedule. Is there a way not to include a run date?

Welcome to the forum.
Oracle 9i is a database version from the previous century.
But:
You can read about DBMS_JOB in the 9i documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/homepage
Or do some searches on http://asktom.oracle.com
Anyway: if you want the job to run once, then omit the interval...
Oh, and don't forget to read {message:id=9360002} from the SQL and Pl/SQL FAQ here:
