There is no Logical Error Here... It is perfectly Logical.

The Char is Explicitly Converted into a Number if Oracle Finds that it has only Numbers and No Chars.

happy Scouting for errors !!!

A sound not right program to ask you all.

I have

declare l_aayr_nm to NUMBER(4);

l_aayr_nm := TO_CHAR(bsmstr_rec.ful_rls_dt,'YYYY');

and I insert l_aayr_nm into a table with

INSERT INTO penm (yr ) values (l_aayr_nm);

the declaration of the yr is NUMBER(4) also.

But oracle did't give me any error on this ??Why ?
