Thanks Alexander,
MERGE should do the trick. It is 9i, so I'll have to supply fake not
matched clause.
Much appreciated.

Ranko,

since you are almost certainly going ahead to ORA-01779 with such kind
of query if you write it as a single "update (select ...) set ..."
(Oracle doesn't like when you join tables with supplied
variables/literals even if that leads to a fully key-preserved join).

I would try to use merge instead. Something like this (I've just typed
it in, can't verify):

merge into sub_svc_parm ssp
       using (
               SELECT b.sub_svc_id, d.destination_group_id val
                       FROM sub_svc a, sub_svc b, sub_svc_parm c, 
RATE_CENTRE_TEMP_&1 d
                       WHERE a.SUB_ID = b.SUB_ID
                               AND a.SVC_ID = 10000
                               AND b.SVC_ID = 10008
                               AND a.SUB_SVC_ID = c.SUB_SVC_ID
                               AND c.parm_id = 10230
                               AND SUBSTR(c.val,1,6) = d.npanxx) v
       on (ssp.sub_svc_id=v.sub_svc_id and ssp.parm_id = 12650)
       when matched then update set ssp.val=v.val;

btw - what version? I assume you're on 10g so you don't need both
matched/not matched sections.
