I finally found the answer about the infamous 'boolean dates'! (this was the term that my boss used when he told me about the dates... boolean dates).
After receiving a lot of mails talking about Julian dates... I started to test in that way.
I could find the following which is the solution to my problem.
sql> select bdate, to_date(bdate + 1721436, 'J') tdate sql> from paam sql> where rownum < 6;
BDATE TDATE ------- -------- 728464 01-JUL-95 728434 01-JUN-95 728403 01-MAY-95 728495 01-AUG-95 728283 01-JAN-95
As you can see the key is: 1721436
Thanks again to all! Best regards!
