Since we are using Oracle as our database, I've got an idea to call SQL
(SUBSTR to_date...) to convert the problem located above this message. I'll
just read more docs on ksh scripting 'cause I admit that I lack knowledge on
it. Anyway, anybody from this list has a copy of Korn Shell Programming
docs? Would you mind to send it to me 'cause I don't have any docs here
regarding ksh programming? Sad to say, malungkot ulit ako kasi wala na
akong access ng internet dito sa office eh kaya hindi na ako makapag-browse
sa net. :-( huhuhu...
Regarding Perl, I can't make it here in our office 'cause Perl is not
installed in any of our sites all over the country. Sayang nga...
Anyway, thanks in advance especially to you Dido for your prompt reply.
