I don't know of any such option in sqlloader. But, you can do one thing copy the 100 records from the file and create a new file and try to load that one. Hope this helps.

I have tried reviewing the docs, but I didn't see anything that answered the question. Is it possible to limit the number of records being loaded? We have a file that has records in the 6 digit range. I'd like to test the controlfile, but I don't want to load the whole file. Is there a way to tell loader to only load, say the 1st 100 records?
