waiting until file loaded

Hello

i have DB file load with this command
../SS-Tools/SSdbload -r 10 -il /export/specbackup_db/$b y

i should wait until the DB load completed then run the next command
$SPECROOT/bin/launchinstdbapp `/usr/bin/hostname` SS n VNM.OUT

how this can be done with shell scripting
NB:
i am using Ksh

regards
