I have a sql script file that dynamically generates a control file. It accepts date fields in date formats for mm/dd/yyyy. The sqlldr is loading the dates from the csv file, but it is also accepting date formats such as "mm\dd\yyyy" or "mm.dd.yyyy". How do i make it only accept MM/DD/YYYY?

Why worry about the separator? Consider this procedure that is a member of our utility package that I threw together for a similar need. You pass it a table name and a separator and it reads USER_TAB_COLUMNS and outputs a skeleton control file which I then save into a file (I use Toad but of course you could spool it into a file too). I use it all the time. It's not pretty, but it meets my needs. Tweak to meet your needs, I believe it may save you some time retyping column names and data types.

/********************************************************************************************************
Name: GEN_CTL_FILE
Desc: Generates a skeleton control file for loading data via SQL*Loader.
Args: tablename_in IN VARCHAR2, delim_in VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '|'
Returns: None.
Usage: utl.gen_ctl_file('tablename');
Notes: Prints a skeleton control file.
If a template for a fixed-length data file is desired, use 'FIXED' for the delim_in string.
Example usage:
set serveroutput on;
execute utl.gen_ctl_file('tablename', '*');

I found the answer. Date formatting in oracle allows options FX and FM for exact formatting
for example
select to_date('6/21/2016', 'FXfmMM/FXdd/FXYYYY') from dual;
returns 6/21/2016
select to_date('6-21-2016', 'FXfmMM/FXdd/FXYYYY') from dual;
will return error "literal does not match format string"
so in my control file sql script i added the FX and FM commands
' col7 DATE "FXFMMM/FXDD/FXYYYY",' || chr (10) ||
' col8 DATE "FXFMMM/FXDD/FXYYYY",' || chr (10) ||
now only dates with exactly mm/dd/yyyy format will be accepted and the rest will be rejected as a bad row
