Hi all,
when i write a statement like
select sysdate into :m_date from dual;
in forms 6i, i get value of :m_date in the format of
"DD-MON-YY".
My nls_date_format is DD/MM/YYYY and NLS_LANG is American.
Datatype of :m_date is date and size is 11.
can anyone please let me know how to get sysdate in the format of nls_date_format.
Thanks,
Praveen

If :m_date is a DATE item (and it should be a DATE), set its format mask to reflect your desire. If it is a CHARACTER (and no, it shouldn't be a character), then use the TO_CHAR function andSELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'dd-mon-yy') INTO :m_date FROM dual |
