So, it was boss speak, after all. Tell your boss to beware of the
ides of bool.

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!

JL
