The whole lot can be replaced by
v_OWNER_NO := ltrim(to_char(nvl(recCursor.OWNER_NO,0),'000000'));

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?
