Problem Note 20794: An error occurs when there is a space in the directory paths of an SQL*Loader file

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

If you have a space in the directory path of an SQL*Loader file, you will receive an error similar to the following message:

ERROR: The SQL*Loader utility could not be executed. 
Please make sure it is installed on your system. 
If it is installed, find out how it should be invoked.  
By default, it is invoked as "sqlldr". If it is anything other 
than this, please use the BL_SQLLDR_PATH option to specify the exact command.

To workaround the problem, specify a single quote inside the double quotes used with the BL_* options, as shown in the following example:

   proc append data=fsk_nn_entity
        base=DB_KC.fsk_nn_entity(bulkload=yes
        bl_load_method=truncate
        bl_control="'C:\Documents and Settings\sasrfm\Local Settings\Temp\
                      SAS Temporary Files\_TD3908/control.ctl'"
        bl_log="'C:\Documents and Settings\sasrfm\Local Settings\Temp\
                      SAS Temporary Files\_TD3908/log.log'") force;
   run;
