Hello expert,

Thank you very much for all of your reply.

But in my case, the 1 is variable. I tried the following but it complains that

SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE)-22/86400 from dual;

TRUNC(SYS

02-AUG-04 <--- Wrong date.

SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE-22)/86400 from dual; SELECT (TRUNC(SYSDATE)-22)/86400 from dual;

These two SQL statements gave the error:

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

If I try this one, it works.

SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE - 22), TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE-22+1), 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

Is there any way to improve this lengthly statement?

Thanks,
Wes
