Thanks for the info. That is what I figured but I'm having troubles getting the
date to convert in and out for my calculations. I also need to eliminate Saturday
and Sunday as well as holidays. I know sql fairly well but I am not using Oracle
so much anymore as I changed jobs and spend most of my time in Sybase
and on the mainframe.

I'll give your idea a shot and see if I can also calculate and remove weekends.

Best regards,

Ron B.
