Roland,

Using Double Quotes may overcome the problem:

SQL> create table junque ("18-jun-02" date);

Table created.

SQL> desc junque

 Name                            Null?    Type
 ------------------------------- -------- ----
 18-jun-02                                DATE

SQL> SQL> drop table junque;

Table dropped.

SQL>

Or the same example..................

1* create table junque (&&colm date)
SQL> /
Enter value for 2: "19-jun-02"
old 1: create table junque (&&colm date) new 1: create table junque ("19-jun-02" date)

Table created.

SQL> desc junque

 Name                            Null?    Type
 ------------------------------- -------- ----
 19-jun-02                                DATE

SQL> SQL> drop table junque
2 /

Table dropped.

SQL> This is on a 7.3.4 database but should work with 8i and 9i too.

That's an invalid column name format.

1* create table junque (&&1 date);

Enter value for 1: 19-jun-02
old 1: create table junque (&&1 date)
new 1: create table junque (19-jun-02 date) create table junque (19-jun-02 date)

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: invalid column name

But the example above should give some ideas on how it could be done.
