I have been provided with a flat file from Hyperion-Essbase, which requires to be loaded to the oracle database.

Location:
The file is located on the Unix machine.

Issue:
The file that has been provided contains not required values Mi#.

Requirement:
1 Is there any command in Unix available that would remove Mi# and replace it with NULL.
2 Is there any command in Unix available that would remove Mi# and replace it with 0.

Please clarify, what do you mean by "Mi#"?

Can this file be mapped as External Table?
