Sql loader does not skip header rows from the second infile

Question

Hi
I am new to Sql Loader and trying to figure out a way to load data into the table from 2 files which have different data in the same format. The files get successfully loaded into the database with just one glitch:
Its skips first 2 rows from the first file however it takes first 2 rows from the 2nd file which I do not want. Can anyone help me with this issue? How can i restrict loader from picking up the 2 header rows from the second file as well?
given below is the content of the control file
OPTIONS ( SKIP=2)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\Italy_Wave11_Contacts.csv'
BADFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\Contacts.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\contacts.dsc'
infile 'C:\loader\contacts\Spain_Wave11_Contacts.csv'
BADFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\Contacts1.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\contacts1.dsc'
Truncate
into table V_contacts_dump

Answer 1

It would be possible to call the loader twice with only one input-File at each run.
