Hello Listers,

I need some help please,
I am trying to create a DECODE statement, on a date column and looks
something like this, but does not work.
SELECT   COL1,
                COL2,
                DECODE((SYSDATE - COL_DATE), <= 30, '30_days', NULL) Days30,
                DECODE((SYSDATE - COL_DATE), (between 31 and 60), '60 Days',
NULL) Days60,
......
......
FROM ACCOUNT_TBL
WHERE COL = '0'

Obviously, I have worked out that this can not be done. The problem is also
that the server is 7.3.4 and I need to use the code in a view.
Does anyone have any solutions/work arounds for this?
Any help will be appraciated.

TIA
Denham Eva
