Sql*loader - load data in table with multiple condition

Question

Hi,
I have oracle 9i on Sun sloaris and i need to load data in one of oracle table using sql*loader with conditional column data.
My table is like:
Load_table
col1 varchar2(10),
col2 varchar2(10),
col3 varchar2(10),
Now i have to load data like:
If col2 = US1 then col3 = 'AA'
If col2 = US2 then col3 = 'BB'
If col2 = US3 then col3 = 'CC'
How can i load this data in table using sql*loader?
Thanks,
Pora

Hi
it is a half-solution.
You have to:
1. open file
2. take a line
3. split the line into values (using substring to)
4. check condition (01 or 02)
5. do a proper insertion

DECLARE
v_dir VARCHAR2(50) := 'd:/tmp/'; --directory where file is placed
v_file VARCHAR2(50) := 'test.txt'; -- file name
v_fhandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; ---file handler
v_fline VARCHAR2(906); --file line
v_check VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
v_fhandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_dir, v_file, 'R'); --open file for read only
LOOP -- in the loop
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE( v_fhandle , v_fline); -- get line by line from file
if (substr(v_fline,17,2) = '01') then --check the value
INSERT INTO ... -- Time_in
else
INSERT INTO ... -- Time_out
end if;
END LOOP;
