An/integer constant/specifies an integer as a signed or unsigned
number with a maximum of 19 digits that does not include a decimal
point. The data type of an integer constant is large integer if its
value is within the range of a large integer. The data type of an
integer constant is big integer if its value is outside the range of a
large integer, but within the range of a big integer. A constant that
is defined outside the range of big integer values is considered a
decimal constant.
The problem might be the char() function. I think varchar_format is--
expectiing a varchar, not a char.
Both of these work:
values dec(varchar_format(to_date('150923','DDMMYY'),'YYMMDD'),6)
values dec(varchar_format(to_date('050923','DDMMYY'),'YYMMDD'),6)

Hi all
In a program i found this function that convert data from DDMMYY to
YYMMDD
or vice versa.
If i run this :
values dec(varchar_format(to_date(char(150923), 'DDMMYY'),
'YYMMDD'),6) ;
it works
if i run this :
values dec(varchar_format(to_date(char(050923), 'DDMMYY'),
'YYMMDD'),6) ;
it DON'T work
how can i solve this problem ? i think that the problem was caused
from the
first zero in the 050923, that came converted to blank ??!!
Thanks in advance
