Kean,

LTRIM trims from the left and RTRIM trims from the right. So they are sort of the same but from different directions.

Need some clarification here.

WHILE V_FROMDate <= TODATE LOOP

   IF RTRIM(TO_CHAR(V_FROMDate,'DAY'))='SATURDAY' THEN    V_Count := V_Count + 1;
   END IF;
   V_FROMDate := V_FROMDate +1;

When i use RTRIM --it will generate correct result , if i use LTRIM then the system will return 0.

Aren't RTRIM and LTRIM sort of the same ?

PLs help up . THank u
