    Something like this..

    SELECT*,

    CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(rate, 1, 1) = '*' THEN '10' ELSE SUBSTRING(rate, 1, 1) END AS game1,

    CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(rate, 2, 1) = '*' THEN '10' ELSE SUBSTRING(rate, 2, 1) END AS game2,

    CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(rate, 3, 1) = '*' THEN '10' ELSE SUBSTRING(rate, 3, 1) END AS game3,

    CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(rate, 4, 1) = '*' THEN '10' ELSE SUBSTRING(rate, 4, 1) END AS game4,

    CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(rate, 5, 1) = '*' THEN '10' ELSE SUBSTRING(rate, 5, 1) END AS game5

    FROMstudents

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
