I bet Forms6 does not know numtoyminterval function.
Use add_months one.

Michel Sir has already provided the answer.

Try

select add_months(sysdate,-12) from dual ;

instead of

select sysdate - numtoyminterval(1, 'YEAR') from dual;

or this way,

SELECT SYSDATE - interval '1' YEAR FROM DUAL;

if numtoyminterval is not known, I don't think "interval '1' YEAR" is: they have been introduced at the same time.
