Rather than using sed to change your original template file and then change it back why not create a new file with the changes and remove once you are done. Here I use $$ which expands to shells processID to ensure unique filename in case script is run simultaneously.

Also assuming TEXT is supposed to be replaced with the table names:

Code:
for table in switch billing
do
   for file in /tmp/*.$table 
   do
       if [ -f "$file" ] 
       then
           sed -e "s|FILENAME|$i|g" -e "s|TEXT|$table|g" /tmp/data1.ctl  > /tmp/$$_data1.ctl
           sqlldr TNS control=/tmp/$$_data1.ctl
           rm /tmp/$$_data1.ctl
       fi
    done
done

gen-ctl-io

GEN-CTL-IO(1)							      libctl							     GEN-CTL-IO(1)

NAME

       gen-ctl-io - generate C interface code for libctl control files

SYNOPSIS

       gen-ctl-io [OPTION]... [spec-file]

DESCRIPTION

       gen-ctl-io  generates  C  code  to import/export the input/output variables used in a libctl control file.  gen-ctl-io generates files like
       ctl-io.h and ctl-io.c.  These files define global variables, data structures, and functions for the input/output  variables,  classes,  and
       function interfaces defined in the spec-file argument, automating the interaction between C and Guile.

       The  arguments  such  as  --code and --header are used to control whether ctl-io.c or ctl-io.h, etcetera, are generated.  If no argument is
       specified then both of these files are generated by default, for backwards compatibility.

       libctl is a free library to aid in interfacing scientific software with the GNU Guile scripting and extension language.	Documentation  for
       it may be found online at the libctl home page: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl

OPTIONS

       --code Generate C (or C++) source code to implement the Guile interface functions.  The default output file name is ctl-io.c (in C) or ctl-
	      io.cpp (in C++).

       --header
	      Generate the header file declaring the interface data types and functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.h (in C)  or  ctl-
	      io.hpp (in C++).

       --swig Generate	a  SWIG  interface  definition file declaring automatic conversions for the various libctl data types.	The default output
	      file name is ctl-io.i.

       --cxx  Generate C++ code instead of C code.

       -o file
	      Use file as the output file name instead of the defaults (above).
