First, excuse my english because i'm a french.

Explain my problem:
- In forms5, i execute the command SELECT variable_date INTO
variable_char.
- My NLS_DATE_FORMAT from regedit and database is 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

          Declare
                 var_date       varchar2(10);
          Begin
                Select dt_update into var_date from table1;
          End;


Question:
Why the result of my request = the format date 'DD-MMM-YY'??? In SQL_PLUS 3.3.4, same request respond correctly? (YYYY-MM-DD)

Thank you
