Hallo,

I have a table, A: IMPEXCEL_EANNR

which contains the field IMP_PRIS(= price)

It looks like this:

12
1,50
11

This is a varchar2 field in this table. I want that field values to be inserted(or rather update the other table ) in other table called VARUKORGEANREL, but field in which the prices are goingto be inserted to is a NUMBER(15,5) field.

I am trying to use this sql but the result I get is:

0,12
1,50
0,11

The right prices to be inserted would be 12
1,50
11

What is wrong with this sql?

   UPDATE PBK.VARUKORGEANREL SET (

               PRIS) =
                 (SELECT Distinct to_number ( substr(pbk.impexcel_eannr.IMP_PRIS,1,(instr(pbk.impexcel_eannr.IMP_PRIS,',')-1))||'.'|| substr(pbk.impexcel_eannr.IMP_PRIS,(instr(pbk.impexcel_eannr.IMP_PRIS,',')+1),length(pbk.impexcel_eannr.IMP_PRIS)))
                   FROM PBK.impexcel_eannr
                   WHERE PBK.VArukorgeanrel.ean = PBK.impexcel_eannr.EANNUM)
                   WHERE PBK.varukorgeanrel.varukorgid = inVarukorgId;

Thanks in advance

Roland
