ORA-01861: literal does not match format string

532632Dec 2 2008 — edited Dec 2 2008

Hi

We have an application job that can be run on ad-hoc basis. The job calls a pl/sql procedure through a unix shell script, which in turn triggers several other procedures.

One of these procedures is failing with an error

 ORA-01861: literal does not match format string 

I think this is while updating a date column.

Now comes the astonighing part - when I debug the same procedure step by step from Toad.. I do not get any errors :(

whats wrong? has this got something to do with nls_date_format?

if needed, I will paste the code here. Please advise.

Thanks,
