    ...in which case wouldn't you just do...
    Code:
    l_delta_all := f_time_in_out + f_margin_in_out_after - (f_txn_in_out - TRUNC (f_txn_in_out));

    TRUNC and 10g

    While extract does the job very nicely, trunc was altered in 10g to work with timestamp as will as date.

    Sir, See this...

    ************************************************************
    SQL> select cast(systimestamp as time) from dual;

    CAST(SYSTIMESTAMPASTIME)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    10.41.48 AM
    ************************************************************

    It could solve the problem.

    Why on earth are you using 9.2.0.1? With all due respect you should be patching your databases. This works fine in 9.2.0.6.
    Code:
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
    JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
    
    SQL> SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - TRUNC (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
      2  FROM   dual;
    
    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-TRUNC(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Good suggestion regarding CAST but I don't think that is going to work in PL/SQL.

    Sorry sir, but do you have any idea about how to get this patch (9.2.0.6)... in Oracle Site there is no more (9.2.0.2) for Windows...

    Thank you again.

    Metalink is where the patches are at.

    I find it rather annoying that you would post verbatim quotes here from people on other forums (and vice versa) with no credit implying that it were somehow your own work.

    I think if you read Technet Forums thread again you will see that Laurent provided workaround for versions prior to 9.2.0.5.
    Code:
    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - TRUNC (CAST (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS DATE))

    The same, work with SQL without PL/SQL.

    Yeah? So RTFM.

    The result of TIMESTAMP - TIMESTAMP is INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND, not TIMESTAMP, as documented by Oracle here...
