Hi Luis
That is what I used, but for the GoodChars - BadChars I had to list a string
I was hoping to somehow use the values in thefile and somehow change the SQL to use this file

Alan,
SQL has a function called TRANSLATE. In theory you could have something like this:
update myfile set field = translate(field, GoodChars, BadChars)
So, if you have your Bad and Good chars data as a single field, this should (I think) work...
Regards,
Luis
