Thanks Alex. It works. In my case the field has values like   úá}  and cut and paste of that translates to  \372\341

So looks like the field does not have proper varchar2 values. I will keep looking. The table has millions of rows. I have identified some 100 rows with data discrepancy that begin with a certain value when  I do a simple select like select r from r. Just want to work with those 100 rows instead of having to work with millions of rows. Thanks again for your help.
