Could you be a little bit more precise about what you want to do exactly?
Do you want to replace a varchar2 column by a date column?
What do you want to change?

Hi
I found the solution, in ERWIN. know the problem is that lots of table require changes in field and I'm unable to do this in a single job using ERWIN. do you have any experience.

HI,
In case of uploading there is no need to change a date field to varachar2. For this just u update ur control file and make where ever u r having date fields as fil_date DATE 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'

for eg :-
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/users2/manjudv/lst/GCTSIS_20020220.lst'
APPEND INTO TABLE GCTSIS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '^T'
(
Field1 char(2),
Filed_dt DATE 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS',
Field2 char
)

Hope this may solve ur problem
