Answer 1

What i have found out is the ctl files is generated by
set termout off feedback off verify off echo off pagesize 0 heading off linesize 150 trimspool on
set document off
Spool /home/oracle/pic/payment_files/rhc_prod/sqlldr_build_controlfile_header.ctl
SELECT 'LOAD DATA ' || chr(10) ||
'INFILE ' || chr(39) || '&&1' || chr(39) || chr(10) ||
'INTO TABLE sl_rhc_admin.rhc_input_file_header ' || chr(10) ||
'APPEND ' || chr(10) ||
'FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' || chr(39) || ',' || chr(39) || ' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '||chr(39)||chr(34)||chr(39)|| chr(10) ||
'TRAILING NULLCOLS ' || chr(10) ||
'(file_name ' || chr(10) ||
',total_amount ' || chr(10) ||
',num_of_records ' || chr(10) ||
',file_date ' || chr(10) ||
',load_id "rhc_input_file_seq.nextval" ' || chr(10) ||
' )' FROM DUAL;
spool off
Spool /home/oracle/pic/payment_files/rhc_prod/sqlldr_build_controlfile_detail.ctl
SELECT 'LOAD DATA ' || chr(10) ||
'INFILE ' || chr(39) || '&&1' || chr(39) || chr(10) ||
'INTO TABLE sl_rhc_admin.rhc_input_file ' || chr(10) ||
'APPEND ' || chr(10) ||
'FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' || chr(39) || ',' || chr(39) || ' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '||chr(39)||chr(34)||chr(39)|| chr(10) ||
'TRAILING NULLCOLS ' || chr(10) ||
'(spin ' || chr(10) ||
',auth_amt ' || chr(10) ||
',fund_year ' || chr(10) ||
',appl ' || chr(10) ||
',load_id "rhc_input_file_seq.currval" ' || chr(10) ||
' )' FROM DUAL;
then the spooled file are used as control file let me show u the part of the script
==========================================================
# Load in files using sqlldr by first creating the control file, then running them for Automated Vertification
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba << EOF
@$RHC_HOME/sqlldr_build_controlfile.sql ${FILE_NAME}
EOF
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlldr sl_rhc_admin/sl_rhc_admin@em control=$RHC_HOME/sqlldr_build_controlfile_header.ctl load=1
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlldr sl_rhc_admin/sl_rhc_admin@em control=$RHC_HOME/sqlldr_build_controlfile_detail.ctl skip=1 direct=TRUE
========================================================
The above pasted script spool it rersults into sqlldr_build_controlfile_header.ctl and
sqlldr_build_controlfile_detail.ctl.
But for some reason it doest not spool the expected results.
