Hi all

I am facing a problem while developing an application in Developer 2000 and Oracle 8.
That is, in the form I had bind a field with a database column, having date data type, now the problem is with Oracle’s default date format which is DD-MON-YY and I want to show it in DD-MM-YYYY format. If I change the mask of the control in forms it gives error and doesn’t display the date.
I also read about the DBMS_SESSION package having SET_NLS procedure, which is equivalent to SQL command ALTER SESSION, but it couldn’t be used in Triggers.

Best regards
Sajid
