Hi,
I'm having problem loading decimal values into oracle table. The data file doesn't contain decimal values but as they have already specified the format i need to load it as a decimal just based on the given format.

For Ex: I've a table where

table test
a varchar2(2)
b number(6,3)

data file:

AB+00999
CB+01022

MY CONTROL FILE HAS

load data
...
..
..
into table test replace
a position(1:2) char(2),
b decimal(6,3)

Here though the value of b is +00999 in the 1st record i need to load into the table as 0.999. Can anyone help me with this?

I tried all the possibilities of decimal external,float external etc.

Thanks in advance
