I am trying to load a table with SQL Loader run from Unix. I keep on getting the same error. Does anyone know how to resolve this. The error is:
LRM-00117: syntax error at ',' at the start of input

Here is the code below:
****************************************************************
#!/bin/ksh

PARA_STRING=${1}
V_DATA_DIR=`echo $PARA_STRING|cut -f9 -d" "|tr -d '"'`
cd $V_DATA_DIR

#Initializing the local counter to keep track if multiple
#data files found
V_COUNTER=1

#Looking out for the .txt files in the given inbound directory
if [ -f *.txt ] ; then
echo "Looping through each .txt file ..."
for V_DATA_FILE in *.txt ; do
echo "File number:"$V_COUNTER
echo "Data file:"$V_DATA_FILE

V_BASE_NAME=`echo $V_DATA_FILE|tr -d ".txt"`

V_CONTROL_FILE=${V_DATA_DIR}/${V_BASE_NAME}.ctl
V_LOG_FILE=${V_DATA_DIR}/${V_BASE_NAME}.log
V_BAD_FILE=${V_DATA_DIR}/${V_BASE_NAME}.bad
V_DISCARD_FILE=${V_DATA_DIR}/${V_BASE_NAME}.discard

echo SQL*Loader control file: $V_CONTROL_FILE
echo SQL*Loader log file: $V_LOG_FILE
echo SQL*Loader bad file: $V_BAD_FILE
echo SQL*Loader discard file: $V_DISCARD_FILE

cat >${V_CONTROL_FILE} << !

!
[ -f ${V_BAD_FILE} ] && rm -f ${V_BAD_FILE}
[ -f ${V_LOG_FILE} ] && rm -f ${V_LOG_FILE}
[ -f ${V_DISCARD_FILE} ] && rm -f ${V_DISCARD_FILE}

echo $V_COUNTER
exit ${err}

Is the error within the data file or the shell script itself. Could further elaborate on a possible fix for this.

I still am working on my 1st cup coffee this morning so I could be mistaken, but I don't think that commas are valid above.

I have tried removing the commas that you specified. Only now I am receiving the following error:

SQL*Loader-520: lfimknam failed for file (/.log)

Can you help me troubleshoot this. Thanks.

Apparently something isn't properly defined within your script.

I think if you display ${V_LOG_FILE} you'll get /.log

V_LOG_FILE=${V_DATA_DIR}/${V_BASE_NAME}.log


So both ${V_DATA_DIR} as ${V_BASE_NAME} seems to be empty.

You could prove me wrong by displaying their values with an echo command
