[Quoted]  Hi All,

[Quoted]  I have an amt column in my table which is NUMBER(11,2). The input data [Quoted] contains a trailing negative sign and doesnt contain decimal points. i [Quoted] have something like this in my control file. But i get an error saying [Quoted] that the token is longer than allowable 258 char. I dont know how i can [Quoted] further reduce it. Is there any other way of doing it? [Quoted] Any suggestions would help.

Control file:

 contrib_amt POSITION(21:35) DECIMAL EXTERNAL "decode

(substr(:contrib_amt,length(:contrib_amt)),'-',-to_number(substr

[Quoted] [Quoted] (:contrib_amt,1,length(:contrib_amt)-3)||'.'||substr(:contrib_amt,length
(:contrib_amt)-3,2)),to_number(

substr(:contrib_amt,1,length(:contrib_amt)-3)||'.'||substr
(:contrib_amt,length(:contrib_amt)-3,2)))"
  • I tried with Zoned also. it didnt work. gave me an 'invalid zoned decimal nibble'

Thanks & Regards
J.Kasthuri
