Dear all,

I have something wrong with my stored procedure. It seems to work, but it doesn't work in this case. I can't execute the procedure with following parameter. Red marked line is error throwing line.
begin
SP_ADD2T0101 ('AABB11', 'IMAABB11', TO_DATE('2009-08-30 23:47:21', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mi:ss'));
end;

ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified
ORA-06512: at "INFORMANT.SP_ADD2T0101", line 15
ORA-06512: at line 2

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INFORMANT.SP_ADD2T0101(MS VARCHAR, I VARCHAR, D DATE) IS
DT DATE;
BEGIN

IF D >= SYSDATE + INTERVAL '1' MONTH THEN

  RETURN;
 END IF; 


What's wrong with me?

Thanks in advance

>IF D >= SYSDATE + INTERVAL '1' MONTH THEN
try using ADD_MONTHS() function instead

Nothing wrong for me.

This expected behavior as per ANSI/ISO committee which says: adding 1 month increments the value of the month attribute of the date. If it gives an invalid date, the database should raise an exception..

You can read about the same here.
Interval Arithmetic

You should therefore use add_months function, as Blackswan suggested since it does not have this effect.

How could this be an invalid date for OP and not for me?
I hope this is not the expected behaviour.

What does your sysdate return?

It is not failing for us because it is a valid expression in this case:
SQL> select TO_DATE('2009-08-30 23:47:21', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mi:ss') + INTERVAL '1' MONTH 
  2  from dual
  3  /

I therefore thought it would fail if sysdate is 31-Aug-2009. May be I have completely missed something and do not know what it is?

I was able to reproduce the error, if there is something other than "Return" or "Null" is mentioned between the if clause.

XE@SQL>  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_ADD2T0101(MS VARCHAR, I VARCHAR, D DATE)
 IS
  2       DT DATE;

  5      --dbms_output.put_line(d);
  6         RETURN;
  7        END IF;
  8      end;
  9  /

Now I do not know if this expected behavior of Oracle PLSQL.

Doh! Seem I am dumb this morning...

I will investigate on it as soon as I have a moment.

Thank you experts,

Currently Oracle doesn't add one month when date is 31th of August. Because September has only 30 days. I.e:

select to_date('2009/08/31','yyyy/MM/dd') + interval '1' month
from dual

ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified


I solved it by simply adding 30 days.

...
 IF D >= SYSDATE + INTERVAL '30' DAY THEN
  RETURN;
 END IF; 
...


Have a nice day

If run on the 1st of some months, you will obtain WRONG! results.

Dear BlackSwan

Thank you very much.

I just know that add_months is a system function.

I found this is a (unfortunate) PL/SQL optimizer bug:
SQB> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_ADD2T0101 (MS VARCHAR, I VARCHAR, D DATE) 
  2  IS
  3    DT DATE;
  4  BEGIN
  5    IF D >= TO_DATE('31/08/2009','DD/MM/YYYY') + INTERVAL '1' MONTH THEN
  6      RETURN;
  7    END IF; 
  8  END;
  9  /

Procedure created.

SQB> exec SP_ADD2T0101 ('AABB11', 'IMAABB11', sysdate);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Now change the optimizer level to 1 (default is 2):
SQB> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_ADD2T0101 (MS VARCHAR, I VARCHAR, D DATE) 
  2  IS
  3    DT DATE;
  4  BEGIN
  5    IF D >= TO_DATE('31/08/2009','DD/MM/YYYY') + INTERVAL '1' MONTH THEN
  6      RETURN;
  7    END IF; 
  8  END;
  9  /

Procedure created.

SQB> exec SP_ADD2T0101 ('AABB11', 'IMAABB11', sysdate);
BEGIN SP_ADD2T0101 ('AABB11', 'IMAABB11', sysdate); END;

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified
ORA-06512: at "MICHEL.SP_ADD2T0101", line 5
ORA-06512: at line 1

You have the error.

In "Database PL/SQL Language Reference", chapter 12 "Tuning PL/SQL Applications for Performance", section "How PL/SQL Optimizes Your Programs", it is stated:
Quote:
In even rarer cases, you might see a change in exception action, either an exception that is not raised at all, or one that is raised earlier than expected. Setting PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL=1 prevents the code from being rearranged.
