Sqlloader

I am using sqlloader to load csv files created from DB2 tables loaded into Oracle tables. My DB2 table has three fields defined as TIME but Oracle does not have a datatype of TIME. I would like to convert this field to NUMBER(6,0) as a software package we bought converts it from dBase4 to Oracle and converts this field from TIME to Number but when we loaded it to DB2 we loaded it to TIME. Now we are converting everything to Oracle and removing DB2, I need to bring the tables down from the mainframe to the Sun server and convert these fields from TIME to Number but I cannot find anything that gives me an idea how to do it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is the DB2 time value seconds past midnight? You can put that into a NUMBER(6) datatype.
