I have this script to generate some insert statements for table
to send across over other DB.

SET HEAD OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGES 0
SET ECHO OFF
SET SHOW OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SET SCAN ON
SET LINES 500
SET CONCAT +
Spool &3

SELECT 'Insert into &1.PROD_PREF@&2
(PREF_CD,	
PROD_DIM_NB,	
PROD_PREF_VAL_TX,
DFLT_IN,
STS_CD,STS_MOD_DT,CRE_USR_ID,CRE_DT,UPDT_USR_ID,UPDT_DT
) values ('''
  || PPREF.PREF_CD ||''','
  || PPREF.PROD_DIM_NB || ','''
  || PPREF.PROD_PREF_VAL_TX || ''','''
  || PPREF.DFLT_IN ||''','''
  || PPREF.STS_Cd ||''','''
  || to_Char(PPREF.STS_MOD_DT,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''','''
  || PPREF.CRE_USR_ID ||''','''
  || to_Char(PPREF.CRE_DT,'YYYY-MM-DD') ||''','''
  || PPREf.UPDT_USR_ID ||''','''
  || to_Char(PPREF.UPDT_DT,'YYYY-MM-DD')  || '''' || ');'
 From hds01.PROD_PREF  PPREF          
     WHERE prod_dim_nb <> 0 and 
     NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1  FROM  &1.PROD_PREF@&2 iris
                       where 
                     PPREF.PREF_CD=trim(iris.pref_Cd)
		     and PPREF.PROD_DIM_NB=iris.prod_dim_nb);
SELECT 'commit;' FROM DUAL;
spool off


And this gives me , insert statment like this, all insert went fine, but some has a Additional Single Codes , coming from source for this column PROD_PREF_VAL_TX ( varchar2 Datatype ).
I tired with SET DEFINE OFF also, it doesn't work,

I am generating this in Oracle and running from oracle Db, but inserts will happen in remote DB2 Database.


Insert into IRIDBHC5.PROD_PREF@DRDA                 
(PREF_CD,                                           
PROD_DIM_NB,PROD_PREF_VAL_TX,
DFLT_IN,STS_CD,STS_MOD_DT,CRE_USR_ID,
CRE_DT,UPDT_USR_ID,UPDT_DT ) values ('numberFormat',523,'''pref.global.numberFormat.9'999.99.value','N','ACTIVE','2009-09-21','PRELOAD','2009-09-1',
'PRELOAD','2009-09-21');   


If i know this 1 record i can manually add additional codes and run it, but in a dynamic script how can i use Escape here,
I know data is wrong there but this is coming from source, so no question of removing it from tables first before running the script.And dates in Single Codes, that we are sending to DB2 so don't worry about Dates that's the way it stores in DB2.

Please let me know what can be done here, if Escape can be used here how,


Thanks

Try this:
-- etc --
|| REPLACE(PPREF.PROD_PREF_VAL_TX,'''','''''') || ''','''
-- etc --


Shocked

The little ticks you are talking about are called quotes, not codes.
I wonder what combination of values can cause this outcome..

Well - you need to be sure what characters to expect in your strings first. Single quotes, doulbe quotes, $, %, _, CR, LF, & etc can all cause issues. If it was Oracle to Oracle inserts, you could encoding & decoding. Maybe DB2 has functions to decode base64 strings too?

SQL> column encoded format a30
SQL> column decoded format a30
SQL> select sys.utl_encode.base64_encode(sys.utl_raw.cast_to_raw('''$%"abc')) encoded,
  2         sys.utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(sys.utl_encode.base64_decode(
  3             sys.utl_encode.base64_encode(sys.utl_raw.cast_to_raw('''$%"abc'))
  4              )) decoded
  5  from dual;

ENCODED                        DECODED
------------------------------ ------------------------------
