[…] I assume what you are dealing with is an alpha field with a date.
iDate will handle that correctly.

If that were the case, then even more daft for having performed all that arithmetic; i.e. why convert character->numeric->date when there are perfectly good/valid character scalars to do the character->date quite directly :-) Unfortunately, like so often/typical, the OP fails to reveal the DDL, so everyone is left guessing what is the definition of the column to which the OP refers. And the apparent consortium operating with the 'nym Hoteltravelfundotcom are particularly apt to express scenarios with many if not most of the relevant details missing.
