Re: SQL-LOADER and Fixed Point

You'll have to do something like this:
to_number(substr(NUM, 0, 3) || '.' || substr(NUM, 3, (len(NUM) -3))

to concatenate the decimal point in there. Note that substr may not need the third argument for the rest of the number (in the second substr expression, and you may have to make some small adjustments in the arguments (it may actually be 2 rather than 3 in the second substr expression). But this should get you started.
