Oracle SQLLDR Streaming Data Option
This is an example of a data file with each line extending to next line and the line ending with a pipe (|). The SQLLDR control file will use the streaming option value designated by
INFILE "STR stream_value"
in the control file. The stream value is computed using the Oracle function UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw() as shown below. This load is tested using Windows ( OS ) based text file.
SELECT UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw('|'||chr(13)||chr(10)) stream_value FROM DUAL;

Control file - mfgwip.ctl

INFILE mfgwip.txt "STR X'7C0D0A'"  -- UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw('|'||chr(13)||chr(10))
