Hi Everyone,

The following select statement works fine under list of value of Form 4: select field1,date_field,field3 from a_table; BUT
select field1,TO_CHAR(date_field,'ddMONyy'),field3 from a_table;
DOES NOT!
The error message is: FRM-40502: ORACLE error -- unable to read list of values

I am using ORACLE 7 on Solaris 2.3

Could you tell me why and how to fix if you know the answer?

Email me pls since I seldom read news.

Thnx in advance!
