SQL*Loader question

I have a formated file with 15 bytes records.

Each record is a string with a number in spanish format, right justified. The last byte contains
space for positive numbers, "-" for negative numbers. "," is the decimal separator,
"." is the thousands separator.

In TEST table, FIELD_A is DECIMAL NOT NULL NUMBER(15,2)

This control file work fine:

LOAD DATA
INFILE LOAD.DAT
APPEND
INTO TABLE TEST
(FIELD_A POSITION(1:15) DECIMAL EXTERNAL "DECODE(SUBSTR(:FIELD_A, 15, 1), '-', -1, 1) * TRANSLATE(REPLACE(SUBSTR(:FIELD_A, 1, 14), '.'), ',', '.')")

It's possible load data with a simplified control file? Received on Mon Feb 26 2001 - 20:05:13 CET
