You can use DEC and SUBSTR to get out what you want separately. For example
to get the conversion rate with the decimal in the place you want it:

SELECT (DEC(SUBSTR(SRCDATA,9,13)) * .0000001) FROM FILENAME

This will select the piece of data you want, and turn it into a decimal
field. Multiplying by .0000001 puts the decimal where you want it.

I want to extract from this file
USDGBP conversion rate 1.9474000 on date 05/13/08.

Can some one please help me with an SQL or any alternate solution. I donot
have any ideas how can I get period(.) after first digit example :
1.9474000 as flat file comes as 19474000...

Thank you for all the help!
