thanks Scott, that works
I am on LINUX.
actually, as it is a date value, should n't I use the defaule date - ex 00010101 instead of 0 with which it can't compare another date value..
I mean only the ACTUAL_DATE can or can't have values... the DATE_OF_RUN_DB should have a valida date value.. so if I default ACTUAL_DATE to 0, will it not throw an error?
