Hi,

I want to do two operations in a single column while loading data from csv to oracle. In control file,

accNo "translate(:accNo, '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA9876543210')",

This is working fine. But incase of '?' in that field, I have to replace it with null.
I tried this.

accNo "translate(:accNo, '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA9876543210')" "replace(:accNo, '?',NULL)",

This won't work. I want to translate and incase of '?' I want to use replace it with null.
Please advice.
