Russ - What do you have in mind? Oracle stores numbers in its own format in its own datafiles. Are you looking to hack the Oracle datafiles? Or do you have an input file in packed decimal format that your are looking at loading into Oracle? If you could tell us the objective you are seeking to achieve, perhaps we could help you. Or maybe not. :-) My schedule doesn't allow me much spare time to hack Oracle datafiles.
