LYNDA, If you look at my table staructure service_code in varchar2(30)and the data in this column can be a number or a number start with a charachter(A-Z)like A1200,B6500,Z9098 etc,in first subquery I want to select all those service_code wich start with (0-9) then in WHERE Clause I use TO_NUMBER becaz I know in subqury It returns all the numeric values: E.G
select count(*)
> from (select MSC_SERVICE_CODE,MSC_MTF_SERVICE_ID

>    	  from MTF_SERVICE_CODE_MSC 
>           where 
>        	  substr(MSC_SERVICE_CODE, 1, 1) in  
> ('9','8','7','6','5','4','3','2','1','0')) a  ----->>> reurn all service
code start with 0-9


> 		 	where

>        		 to_number(a.MSC_SERVICE_CODE) between 7 and 30

--->> Here a.MSC_SERVICE_CODE convert it to TO_NUMBER .
