Mike added a correction which you would need... the date value must be
in single quote.
It looks like your problem is matching the date mask to the value you
input.
The value is stored internally as a date not a string, so the way
Oracle shows the value is almost irrelevant.
Can you show a values to you have put in?
Is it something like 07-23-2007
