Thanks. But neither statements work. hl1_cost is never populated for any
of the -OR items. 

whse_code and item_num are the primary keys.

Thanks again for your help.

Do these SQL statements work ?

SELECT whse_code
,      item_num
,      last_cost
,      ( SELECT last_cost
         FROM   item_w    hl1
         WHERE  whse_code = 'HL1'
         AND    REPLACE(u.item_num,'-OR') = hl1.item_num
       ) hl1_cost
FROM   item_w    u
/

UPDATE (
SELECT whse_code
,      item_num
,      last_cost
,      ( SELECT last_cost
         FROM   item_w    hl1
         WHERE  whse_code = 'HL1'
         AND    REPLACE(u.item_num,'-OR') = hl1.item_num
       ) hl1_cost
FROM   item_w    u
WHERE  whse_code <> 'HL1'
)
SET last_cost = hl1_cost
/

Note: whse_code and item_num could be removed from the UPDATE statement.
Also, added WHERE whse_code <> 'HL1' so the source last_cost is not
updated
to its current value (reduces redo log entries and rollback segment
usage).

Have Fun :)
