(Sorry, sent this out under the wrong header)

Now that data loads, I can't figure out how to do one thing.

Two batch identification columns,

batchid
batchrecnum

batchid should have the same value for each record loaded in the same sqlldr 
run.
batchrecnum should start at 1 for each sqlldr run, and increment by 1.

So, here's the relevant portion of the control file:


(BATCHID         
     EXPRESSION 
          "NVL(BATCHID_SEQ.CURRVAL,BATCHID_SEQ.NEXTVAL)"
,BATCHRECNUM   
    RECNUM

batchrecnum works like a charm.

I didn't actually expect a reference to the sequence currval to work like this 
(before
a reference to nextval first), but it didn't raise an error.  (I just hoped to 
illustrate
clearly what I wanted.) However, the data loaded!  But, it gives me the next 
value
from the sequence for each new record.

So, instead of getting, in one load (where the next value of batchid_seq would 
be
5:

5,1
5,2
5,3
5,4

I'm getting,

5,1
6,2
7,3
8,4

Any ideas, besides hard-coding the batchid value for the run into the sqlldr 
control
file?  I don't want to do that...
