HI,
My datafile has the foll values:
'100'
'34.5'
and so on..basically some are integer values and some are floats but they're enclosed within quotes.
the col has a varchar2(6) datatype.

I need the column in the table to get the values:
'100.0'
'34.5'
ie. all of the values shd have a decimal point.

Use Substring Function to identify it is a whole no or not ( by checking for pt in it) . if it does not, concat '0'
