I have a file that resides on an IBM. It contains a field whose type is packed decimal. I cannot change this file, or unpack it where it currently resides. I must first FTP it to a Unix box. Of course, it cannot be SQL*Loaded directly because SQL*Loader cannot handle packed data from a different OS than the one under which it is running. Does anyone out there have any info that can help? Believe me, it's critical! Thanks,

Michael
