Easy one, Neil, you spelled calendar two different ways.
(both of which are incorrect, not that it matters!)
 

 calandarString CHAR(10) := ' '; RETURN (calanderString);

Hello,
I know I am missing something. I just can't see it right now. Could someone please tell me what is wrong here? We use version 8.1.6 on Spar Solaris 7.  

I am getting the following error when I try to create this function as sys.  

PLS-00201: identifier 'CALANDERSTRING' must be declared  

Here is the function.  

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ACADEMICYEARTERM_TO_CAL(  ayear4 IN CHAR,
 aterm2 IN CHAR)
   RETURN CHAR IS
 calandarString CHAR(10) := ' '; BEGIN
  SELECT term_desc || ' ' || to_char(start_date, 'YYYY')  into calanderString
 from term
 where term = aterm2
 and academic_year = ayear4;
RETURN (calanderString);
 EXCEPTION
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
   RETURN(calanderString);
END;
/  

TIA!
