Append
Into table tab1
trailing nullcols
( col1 terminated by "," ,

 col2 terminated by ",",
 col3 terminated by "," ,
 col4 terminated by "," ":col3*.07",
 col5 terminated by "," )

begindata

123,20010920,20,30,35
123,20010920,20,30,35
123,20010920,20,30,35

List,
 Oracle 7.3.4
 Using SqlLoader I load a table with 5 columns of data. I would like to be able to have column 4 be the value of (col3 * .07). I have RTFM and other books but it seems that you are not allowed to perform calculations during the load except the date functions.
Am I correct in my understanding?

Control file info:

Load data
Append
Into table tab1
trailing nullcols
( col1 terminated by "," ,

 col2 terminated by "," "TO_DATE(:col2,'YYYYMMDD')",  
 col3 terminated by "," ,
 col4 terminated by "," ,
 col5 terminated by "," )

The source data has values in each location: 123,20010920,20,30,35

Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Ron
ROR mª¿ªm
