    Hi,
    I have a flat file with the following format:
    D58003704380000009168000006000020020626
    D58003704380000009180000003145620020605
    D58003704380000009182000000242320020603
    D58003704380000009184000025700020020606
    D58003704380000009186000021113420020603

    I have to load into table, But before I load or during the load in to table I need to insert a DOT like '.' for e.g:
    D5800370438000000916800000600.0020020626
    D5800370438000000918000000314.5620020605
    D5800370438000000918200000024.2320020603
    D5800370438000000918400002570.0020020606
    D5800370438000000918600002111.3420020603

    Is there any way I can use some kind of format in sql*loader
    Can any one help how I can get. The position of the dot is 30. The amount position is 22:32.

    Thanks in advance,

    Insert the data into a dummy table using SQL Loader, then create your real table with

    create table real_name as (select substr(string_in,1,29)||'.'||substr(string_in,30) data_string from dummy_table);

    Cool

    You could also code in your sql loader script something like this:


    DOT_FIELD POS(??:??) "TO_NUMBER(OT_FILED)/100",

    And not have to create a dummy table.
