DB2 : IMPORT FILE , data modification

 

  

All Gurus,

I am trying to load a CSV file from my PC (windows XP) to Db2 v8.1 (UNIX
server). The file is an excel sheet (user input) converted to a CSV. I
am able to load the file to the table but the problem I am facing is
that there is a amount field in the input which has values like '$10000
'and I need the data to be numeric for my application, is there a way I
can put a some logic to remove the '$' and load just the numeric data.


-------Code being used ----

IMPORT FROM 'C:/data/DD Limits Dec 2007.csv' OF DEL COMMITCOUNT
AUTOMATIC
SKIPCOUNT 2
MESSAGES c:/data/import_dd_limits.log
REPLACE INTO DDN.DD_LIMITS
(Region,Pricing,Name,Account,Amount);

-----------------
I am very new to DB2 so don't have any Idea what I should be looking at,
I tried searching the documentation but couldn't find any thing good,
any help in this direction would be great.

Thanks in advance-
-Raj
