HI can some explain the case function below specially the DECODE (SIGN (TO_DATE (:P_CHK_RECD_TO, 'DD/MM/RRRR') - (TO_DATE('10/02/2014','DD/MM/RRRR'))), 1, 'A') = 'A'
WHERE CASE WHEN Y.DOC_STATUS = 'R' AND DECODE (SIGN (TO_DATE (:P_CHK_RECD_TO, 'DD/MM/RRRR') - (TO_DATE('10/02/2014','DD/MM/RRRR'))), 1, 'A') = 'A' THEN 'A' WHEN Y.DOC_STATUS = 'A' THEN 'A' ELSE 'R' END = 'A' On Friday, August 12, 2011 3:45:41 AM UTC+3, JK wrote: > > The decode always returns the date format in DD-MMM-YY format whereas I > want it to return in MM/DD/YYYY format. > > select > decode(to_date(to_char(SYSDATE,'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM'),'000000',null,to_date(to_char(SYSDATE,'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM')) > > from dual. > > As of now, when I type this I do not have a proper SQL editor to test the > syntax.
