SQL*Loader: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon Jan 16 19:52:03 2012

Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

SQL*Loader-291: Invalid bind variable :TIMESTAMP in SQL string for column VDATE.
...

Just specify the datatype ("timestamp") and the format in your control file and Oracle will perform the implicit conversion if your database column is a date.

An example follows:

Code:

$
$
$ # Data in table "t" before load
$
$ echo "select x, to_char(y, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') as y from t;" | sqlplus -s test/test

no rows selected

$
$
$ # Contents of my control file "t.ctl" with inline data
$
$ cat -n t.ctl
     1  load data
     2  infile *
     3  replace
     4  into table t
     5  fields terminated by ","
     6  trailing nullcols
     7  (
     8    x  integer external,
     9    y  timestamp 'DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SS.FF6 AM'
    10  )

$
$ # Load data using sqlldr
$
$ sqlldr userid=test/test control=t.ctl silent=all
$
$
$ # Data in table "t" after load
$
$ echo "select x, to_char(y, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') as y from t;" | sqlplus -s test/test

...the format remains the same throughtout but the date change everyday
for eg today is 16-jan
the file is ERIC_VOUCHERDAT16

You can extract the current date from the "date" command of Unix/Linux, like so -

Code:

$
$ date '+%d'
16
$
$

Assign this to a shell variable and use that variable in your filename within the ftp command-list. Or you could use the output of the command above directly in your filename.

shunit2

SHUNIT2(1)																SHUNIT2(1)

NAME

       shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       shunit2 unitfile

DESCRIPTION

       shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit,
       etc.. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job.

       You can either run shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the unit file or directly source the shunit2 executable.

       If you directly execute shunit2 and don't specify a unitfile shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message.

EXAMPLE

       Simple script to test if 1 equals 1

	   #! /bin/sh
	   testEquality()
	   {
	     assertEquals 1 1
	   }

	   # load shunit2
	   . shunit2

       Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline

	   shunit2 /path/to/unit/file

OPTIONS

       shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2
       as a commandline script.

SEE ALSO

       For more information see http://code.google.com/p/shunit2/ or have a look at the installed documentation in /usr/share/doc/shunit2/
