What is the alternative to RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE option in Oracle 9i ?

Question

In Control files for SQL Loader, we have the option of mentioning RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE option for quicker loading of data. Is this option extended in Oracle 9i. We get an error when we execute the sql loader script in Oracle 9i with this option set.
Thanks

You could use a BitArray in conjunction with static fields to provide labels for the bits:
static class Flags
public static int WorkProperly = 0;
public static int CompileFaster = 1;
public static int AutoImproveCodeQuality = 2;
class FlagTest
static void Main(string[] args)
BitArray bits = new BitArray(100); // > 64
bits[Flags.AutoImproveCodeQuality] = true;
Or, with an enum, but you'd have to cast the value every time:
enum Flags
Never = 0,
MostOfTheTime,
Sometimes,
OddThursdays,
WhenPigsFly
BitArray bits = new BitArray(1000); // lots of bits
bits[(int)Flags.Sometimes] = true;
