What is the app you must import into? I'm asking because I remember I had to do something like that once... but I don't remember why! :) After I wrote my own small proc to do this, I found a format accepted by EXPORT that gave me exactly what I wanted. But I don't remember why I had this need, neither if the format was exactly what you need.

Obviously, if it's a temporary table, it should be a cursor! :) Other suggestions? Look at the EXPORT command. Maybe it knows how to create a file in the format you want.
