Concatination Problem for Tab delimited file
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:56 am
Hi All,
I have two columns comming from a Tab delimited file.One of them is Reference(Varchar) where the other is Rate( Float.)
My requirement is to concatenate them and put in to a Varchar field(Oracle).
example data: REFERENCE
prime
split
YRP
Nkl
rto
RATE
20.2
0.5
0.5
etc.......
i am able to concatenate them both, but it is not giving results if the rate column is empty.Also i have written a small routine to give @null as well empty('') exceptions.But still the the result is not there for where ever there is a null in the rate field.
i.e the end result is like this
prime 20.2
split 0.5
YRP 0.5
.........
.........
........
the dotted lines i represent means there is no data in the resultant column. is there any thing i am missing?

Any help is appriciated.
