All,
I have a currency records I am importing using UTL_FILE. They are defined on the input file in the following format: +999,999,999.99. Obviously when I try to read these values into a NUMERIC field I get a numeric conversion exception.
Does anyone have or know of a function that handles stripping all non-numeric values (EXCEPT FOR THE DECIMAL) out of a given field or can make the system accept this value as numeric?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide,
K R
