Maybe I am missing something, but if this is only one table that you are trying to change a field from NULL to 000000 then why not UPDATE the table SET column = 000000 where column is NULL; before you run the procedure against the table. To prevent the column from being loaded as NULL place a constraint on the column and the load will bomb out. You will then have ammunition to go back to the source and get it corrected. Make life simple.... get GOOD DATA IN THE BEGINNING. ROR mª¿ªm

vOWNER_NO := lpad(nvl(vOWNER_NO,'0'), 6, '0');
This will return a string of six zeros if VOWNER_NO is null, else it will left pad the vOWNER_NO to make it six character in length.

How can I change this pl/sql code, in the while-statement maybe so that
if the field OWNER_NO is NULL, then it should be written six characters?
The code looks like
this:
"IF recCursor.OWNER_NO is null then
vOWNER_NO := '000000';
else
v_OWNER_NO:= to_char(recCursor.OWNER_NO);
WHILE length(vOWNER_NO) < 6 LOOP
vOWNER_NO '0'0' || vOWNER_NO;
END LOOP;
END IF;
How shoud I write to fix this script so therw will be written out 6
characters if the field OWNER_NO is empty. I want to use the WHILE LOOP. Any
one whom can help me with this?
