    simple procedure help needed

    Folks,
    I inherited this procedure which updates column TLC with our weeks generated from function calculate_week. I'm pretty dumb in PL/SQL so please help in making this procedure work as this is updating Null values into column. Our create_date column is of Timestamp with local timezone data type.-Oracle 9i rel2 on Nt

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_WEEK
    AS
    V_CREATE_DATE NUMBER;
    V_SEQ_ID NUMBER;
    CURSOR getcrsrww IS
    SELECT CALCULATE_WEEK(TO_CHAR(CREATE_DATE,'DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SSXFFAM')) INTO V_CREATE_DATE FROM BIN_NOT
    WHERE TIN_SEQ_ID =V_SEQ_ID;
    BEGIN
    UPDATE BIN_NOT SET TLC = V_CREATE_DATE;
    END TEST_WEEK;

    Thanks

    without opening it? Can u please list the body of the function

    This function when executed yeilds the results correctly as per our rqmnt. Only thro procedure its giving a problem with Nulls.
    create or replace function CALCULATE_WEEK
    (P_DATE IN BIN_BOT.CREATE_DATE%TYPE
    )
    RETURN NUMBER
    IS
    last_day_in_the_week BIN_BOT.CREATE_DATE%TYPE;
    last_day_in_the_first_week BIN_BOT.CREATE_DATE%TYPE;
    number_of_weeks_in_between number;
    begin
    last_day_in_the_week := next_day(p_date-1,'saturday');
    last_day_in_the_first_week := next_day(trunc(last_day_in_the_week,'yyyy')-1,'saturday');
    number_of_weeks_in_between := ( to_number(to_char(last_day_in_the_week,'ddd'))
    -
    to_number(to_char(last_day_in_the_first_week,'ddd'))) / 7;
    return ( to_number( to_char(last_day_in_the_first_week,'yyyy') ) * 100
    + number_of_weeks_in_between + 1 );
    end;

    Thanks
