Re: Date conversion in plsql YYYYMM

Thanks Michel,

In the meanwhile I found still another solution:

TO_DATE(TR.TR_BEG_DATE, 'YYYYMM01' converts a date into a date that begins with the first day of the month. Unfortunately, this presumes that the given date is 8 digits long. It won't work if the day is missing and the date consists of only 6 digits.

Thanks,
