sql query
Hello Folks, Hello, I am trying to convert this weird cobol style number into a regular integer. I got it from a fixed length text file. From the description file: Amount Columns 131-137 Numeric In the fixed width text file, the amounts are in COBOL format. If the value is negative, the right most column will contain a special character: ] = -0, j = -1, k = -2, l = -3, m = -4, n = -5, o = -6, p = -7, q = -8, and r = -9. example numbers: I have 1500 numbers that look like this! the rest are "normal" integers. Any help would /really/ be appreciated.
