Sorry if this is a dumb question.� I don't use SQL Loader much.

I have a field defined on input record (let's call it TYP_CD).� I want to reject the record if TYP_CD is either 'R' or 'M'; otherwise I want to load the record.� It didn't like NOT IN.� Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We can write (AND) but we can't write (OR) with when clause in sql loader. the alternate solution is write 2 times that script.

insert
into table tabelname
when ( : )='R'
(field1 pos..
field2 pos..
field3 pod..)

insert
into table tabelname
when ( : )='M'
(field1 pos..
field2 pos..
field3 pod..)

Well thanks but that doesn't help. I want to REJECT it when its M or R and insert otherwise. If I read your suggestion correctly, this will insert when its M or R and reject otherwise. Yes?

Thanks. I thought of that and talked myself out of it (ANDs and NOT EQUALS are always confusing). But having stepped through examples, that seems to work. Thanks again.
