No.
should set DATAFILE to the pathname of a file that contains the user's name and the user's password on the first line in that file with the values separated by a space. The read statement does not grab values from the string assigned to DATAFILE; it grabs values from the contents of the file named by that string!
I apologize for my original post (which contained several typos) that you mostly fixed. Please look at the updated suggestion in post #4 (which was updated 2 minutes before your last reply).
To make it slightly less obvious to people looking for passwords, I would suggest that the last component of the absolute path named by DATAFILE should have a period as the first character (such as .secret) so it won't show up in an ls command unless the -a option is included.
Note also that there is no reason to export any of the variables used in this script. You only need to export variables that you want to be available in the environment of processes invoked by your script. Your script depends on the variables INFILE_PATH, JOBNAME, LOG_PATH, DATE, and SQLLDR_CTL_PATH to be exported by whatever process invokes your script.

load_datafile_callback
load_datafile_callback(3alleg4) Allegro manual load_datafile_callback(3alleg4)NAME
load_datafile_callback - Loads a datafile into memory, calling a hook per object. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
DATAFILE *load_datafile_callback(const char *filename, void (*callback)(DATAFILE *d));
DESCRIPTION
Loads a datafile into memory, calling the specified hook function once for each object in the file, passing it a pointer to the object just
read. You can use this to implement very simple loading screens where every time the hook is called, the screen is updated to let the user
know your program is still loading from disk:
void load_callback(DATAFILE *dat_obj)
{
static const char indicator[] = "-\|/-.oOXOo.";
static int current = 0;
/* Show a different character every time. */
textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, 0, makecol(0, 0, 0),
makecol(255, 255, 255), "%c Loading %c",
indicator[current], indicator[current]);
/* Increase index and check if we need to reset it. */
current++;
if (!indicator[current])
current = 0;
}
...
dat = load_datafile_callback("data.dat", load_callback);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the DATAFILE or NULL on error. Remember to free this DATAFILE later to avoid memory leaks.
