Hi to all!

We have an old app that manages something that my boss calls: boolean dates.

He told me that exists an algorithm that manages dates as a boolean format.

We have several tables in this form:

Note: The following table: PAAM
has the field BDATE defined as NUMBER.

sql> select bdate from paam
sql> where rownum < 6

BDATE



728464
728434
728403
728495
728283

now, I need to convert that format to an 'understandable' format to get the old data and old dates.

I'm looking (google-ing) for that subject but, without luck.

any ideas? help?, pls...

Thanks in advance

Regards!
JL
