I am facing a problem in loading data file using sqlldr command.

my data file is test_data.txt
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT
Here every four rows belongs to one set of data so i am trying to generate a common sequence number for every four lines using NEXTVAL and CURRVAL.
How to handle this sequence so that it generate a new number after the fourth record gets inserted.

kindly help.

my ctl file
load data
infile 'test_data.txt'
append
into table test_data 
when (1) = '1' 
(  
 seq_id  "to_char(SYSDATE,'RRDDD')|| lpad(SEQ_BTH_PROCESS.nextval,6,'0')",
 LINE_TYPE constant "A",
 dat POSITION(2:6)
)
into table test_data 
when (1)='2' 
( 
seq_id   "to_char(SYSDATE,'RRDDD')|| lpad(SEQ_BTH_PROCESS.currval,6,'0')",
LINE_TYPE constant "B",
dat_b POSITION(2:6)
)
into table test_data 
when (1)='2' 
( 
seq_id   "to_char(SYSDATE,'RRDDD')|| lpad(SEQ_BTH_PROCESS.currval,6,'0')",
LINE_TYPE constant "B",
dat_c POSITION(2:6)
)
  into table test_data 
when (1) = '4' 
(
 seq_id   "to_char(SYSDATE,'RRDDD')|| lpad(SEQ_BTH_PROCESS.currval,6,'0')",
LINE_TYPE constant "D",
dat_d POSITION(2:6)
 )

sql loader command
SQLLDR test/test123@orcl control=samp.ctl log=samp_log.txt

table script
CREATE TABLE CENTRAL.TEST_DATA
(
  DAT        VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  LINE_TYPE  CHAR(1 BYTE),
  SEQ_ID     VARCHAR2(12 BYTE),
  DAT_B      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  DAT_C      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  DAT_D      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
)

sequence script
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_BTH_PROCESS
  START WITH 1
  MAXVALUE 999999
  MINVALUE 0

You can use CONCATENATE 4 to concatenate each set of 4 rows, as demonstrated below.

-- data file:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> HOST TYPE test_data.txt
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
4TTTTT

-- SQL*Loader control file:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> HOST TYPE samp.ctl
load data
infile 'test_data.txt'
append
concatenate 4
into table test_data
trailing nullcols
( dat_a position(2:6)
, dat_b position(8:12)
, dat_c position(14:18)
, dat_d position(20:24) )

-- table:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> CREATE TABLE TEST_DATA
  2  (
  3    DAT_A      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  4    DAT_B      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  5    DAT_C      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  6    DAT_D      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
  7  )
  8  /

Thank you for the reply,
but here i dont have to insert the data in dat_c column. i mean if row starts with 3 then it has to be excuded and remaining 1,2 and 4 has to be clubbed together.

expected output should be like this
DAT_A      DAT_B      DAT_C      DAT_D
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
HHHHH      MMMMM                 TTTTT
HHHHH      MMMMM                 TTTTT
HHHHH      MMMMM                 TTTTT

sorry for mis guiding you. Here in data file C can come multiple times and i will be loading it into a saperate table. so i cannot fix the position value for D which comes after. how can i concatenate based on the position or using WHEN clause.

modified data file

You could use a SQL*Loader sequence and load the data into a staging table, then use SQL to insert the data from the staging table to the target table, as shown below.

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> HOST TYPE test_data.txt
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
3ccccc

2MMMMM
3ccccc

3ccccc
3ccccc
3ccccc
4TTTTT
1HHHHH
2MMMMM
3ccccc
3ccccc
4TTTTT

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> HOST TYPE samp.ctl
load data
infile 'test_data.txt'
append
into table staging
when col1 != '3'
trailing nullcols
( col1    position(1)
, dat     position(2) terminated by whitespace
, seq     sequence )

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> CREATE TABLE staging
  2    (col1      NUMBER,
  3     dat       VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  4     seq       NUMBER)
  5  /
