Dear Fellow,

I have written the following assignment statement.

:dshift_hdr.startdate := to_date(sysdate,'DD-MM-RR HH12:MI:SS');

the startdate is a display item. Its data type property has been set to datetime and the formatmask is DD-MM-RRRR HH12:MI:SS but the result of above assignment statement is 31-03-2011 12:00:00 i.e. it does not take the actual current time.

Please help me because i have promised to install the application to the client tommorrow. Thanks in advance.

Muhammad Khalil

>to_date(sysdate,'DD-MM-RR HH12:MI:SS')
NEVER use TO_DATE on a DATE datatype; like SYSDATE

what datatype is STARTDATE?

You have to use datetime in forms, not date
