qry:= 'to_date(debtodt, 'dd-mon-yy')< sysdate';
or
qry:= 'debtodt < to_char(sysdate, 'dd-mm-yyyy');
or
qry:= 'to_date(debtodt, 'dd-mon-yy')< to_date(sysdate, 'dd-mm-yy')'
all these are showing error in oracle form.
in database
debtodt is in char format , calculating from-- TO_CHAR(add_months(b.FRMDT,b.period)-1,'dd-mm-yyyy')
and also in oracle form it is char,thats why i am changing it either debtodt into date format or sysdate into char format. but it is showing error as: encountered the symbol "DD" when expecting one of these.................
the same query
select * from debar_reg_vu where to_date(debtodt, 'dd-mm-yyyy')<sysdate;
running correctly in database server.

That'd be because the quotes put the date format outside the string.
try:
qry:= 'to_date(debtodt, ''dd-mon-yy'')< sysdate';
What you have is dynamic sql. To put a single quote in a dynamic sql string you need to use two quotes together.
