I have been running into walls when I try to get the first day of the current month.

I've tried to use EUL_DATE_TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MM'), but I get July 1, 1900, not 2005. I thinking that might have something to do with how our system may be set up. When I use SYSDATE for other things, I do get the current date.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Try this, both in Discoverer:
eul_trunc_date(sysdate,'MM') -> 01-SEP-00
trunc(sysdate,'MM') -> 01-SEP-05

So, a bug in eul_trunc_date? I don't know, but the regular SQL trunc sysdate can be used too.

Regards,
Sabine
