1. Search for "exit 0"
2. Search for "sqlldr" or sqlplus"

Try this:

Code:
grep -l 'exit 0' *.ksh | xargs grep -El 'sql(ldr|plus)' | while read file
do
    grep -q case $file || echo $file
done

Or this:

Code:
for f in *.ksh
do
    awk '/exit 0/ {e=1} /sql(ldr|plus)/ { s=1 } /case/ { c=1 } END { if (e && s && !c) { print FILENAME } }' $f
done
