You don't mention your version of Forms.
An issue for Forms 4.5 is that it's version of PL/SQL (1.1) has a problem with the RR format specifier - a program unit using TO_DATE and RR won't work as intended. There appears to be no problem, however, if you simply use RR in an item's Format Mask property.
A workaround is to locate all TO_DATE conversions in server-side stored procedures, since the server already has a later version of PL/SQL.
Forms 5.0 uses PL/SQL 2.x, which I believe doesn't have this problem.
