I am trying to migrate a small (43,000 rows) oracle 8i table onto Teradata. My problem is that one of the columns is defined as DECIMAL(20,0). OLETOOL creates a table with DECIMAL(18,0) and I lose 21,000 rows to the error table due to numeric overflow. I tried making the destination a float, but when I make the Fastload define as a float, the column is populated with a zero value (all rows).

Is there any way to convert this value through the OLETOOL (TTU 7.1)?
