I am simply trying to
Select *
from (oracle Database)
where (oracle field) = '1'+Getdate() ,112

I keep getting,
---------------------------
SQL Server Enterprise Manager
---------------------------
ADO error: [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00919: invalid function
.
---------------------------
OK Help
---------------------------

The only way I get data from this field is to hard code
"1060501" which is a leading 1 with YYMMDD.
I've tried variations of this but seem to think I'm running up against a drive problem.
The Oracle is an older version.

Your Help is appreciated.
Bob"

put the value of getdate into a local variable 1st and then incorporate the result into the sql string. after all the getdate value won't change from record to record.
