Nothing looks incorrect with your statement. Why not try to select the = date field and see if it in fact contains the date 21_JAN-98. during a = sort operation the value 2 does come before 3.=20 ROR =AA=BF=AA

On ORACLE 7.3.4 database, I tried to select date less than "31-DEC-96". the following statement does NOT work correctly:

   select account_id, datestamp from table1    where to_char(datestamp,'DD-MON-YY') < '31-DEC-96';

It still print date like '21_JAN-98'. =20

Anyone can give me a hint?

Thanks
