Hi I'm not exactly sure about your scenario, but maybe this helps:
I'm getting data from a host plattform, which eventually has to be imported into an Oracle DB running on Win2k. We take the flat files (containing host specific EBCDIC character data including CRLFs) and move them via binary mode FTP over to windows. Then, I use a fix length sqlldr ctl file to import the data, including the CRLFs as character data. That works. Since you said you already checked the data with a hex editor, I assume, that 0A 0D is what you want in the database and that 0A 0D is already in the files you are trying to import ?! Is this the case ? I also don't know wether you could work with fix length or not. How did you transfer the files ? Do the files get converted while transfered ? Some tools, like EMC infomover for example, do that (Like EBCDIC -> ASCII for example). Hope that was more help then confusion, Stefan -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Kitty Luo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 14.

The point is the SAP needs that LF and CR (chr(10) and chr(13)). Of course, I used a hex editor to look at it, they are OK (0A and 0D). That's why it is frustrate. Anybody who had a similar problem before, please help me. Thanks, Kitty -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 7:20 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Strip out the chr(10) and chr(13) using update tname set field = replace(field,chr(13),' ') where instr(column_name,chr(13)) > 0 having count(*) > 0;' BUT check whether you want to replace your chr(10) and chr(13) with a space( ' ') or nothing (''). Use the above 'where' clause in a select to look for these non-printers first. Oh yes - don't judge data contents by what Notepad might show you. Use a hex editor (or dump) if you really want to check. peter edinburgh > -----Original Message----- > From: Kitty Luo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 4:59 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: LF and CR (chr(10)||chr(13)) problem > > > > Hi, > > Currently I am working on a project that requires me to > transfer "Customer Master Record" data into SAP R/3 system > from my oracle database (9.2.0.4 running on Solaris 5.9).
