default date formats for varchar2?

My problem is that I have a varchar2[10] that I have loaded with what should be 
5 digit phone numbers [5-1934] but the problem is that Oracle seems to think 
that these are dates and forces a format of May-1934 (or whatever) on them. Any 
ideas on how I can turn off or override this default formatting? Note, this is 
not a date field, it is a varchar2.


 Thanks for any help - Steve   ;  SHL9_at_cornell.edu
