Subject: Re[2]: Date format element rule change
To everyone who took the time to test my date format question and reply, I'd like to express my thanks. I'm working with Steven Feuerstein to revise a chapter in his book on PL/SQL, and the book stated that you could repeat elements in a date format string. I knew that wasn't true in 9i, and was pretty sure about 8i, but I actually did think it was possible at some point in the past. Evidently not. Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to run that little test.
Best regards,
Jonathan Gennick
