if user enters 01/01/1999 and presses the submit button .the data is
entered in database table thru a procedure . i get
a sql exception stating 'ora-01843:not a valid month'

if i enter a format like 01/MAY/1999 the data is entered in the table.
what's the reason for this error ?

while inserting data in the procedure iam using
procedure abc (.... , datefied in varchar2,....)
...
begin
    insert into tabl values(
    .......,
    to_date(datefied,'dd/mm/yyyy'),
    ........);
