I have been successfully except for a minor problem. I would like to separate a value of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 by the dash, into seven separate values. The finish product would turn out to be something like val1 = 1, val2 = 2, val3 = 4, etc. Is this possible? If so, how can I achieve this? Thanks! Kevin -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
