John, I didn't say that a parameter file can't be used. The correct syntax is "control=", not "parfile=".
And I agree about postings. I posted that message yesterday at around noon. FInally showed up today. But my email server is flaky.

John -----Original Message----- Sent: 02 September 2003 19:05 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Fawzia, Try the following (change parfile= to control=) sqlldr control=pants.ctl log=me.log parfile is for imp/exp.
