hi

u can use text_io pkg for this..

here the e.g

declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type; ----file tyoe
linebuf VARCHAR2(80); -----to stroe text read from file
begin

in_file := Text_IO.Fopen('c:file.txt', 'r'); ------ open file

loop ---------- start reading file
text_IO.Get_Line(in_file,linebuf); -----get line from file

/*my screenn field (multipal record field) */:text := linebuf; ------put that line in text

next_record; -----move to next record in data block

end loop; ------end of file

exception
when others then

message('sqlerrm '||sqlerrm);

end;
