Are you sure the suggested code gives you the same error ? I find it really strange, because the query doesn't include ORs or INs, and those are the only operators that will cause ORA-01719 errors. What is the error's line number with the new code ?

Hi Sir:

Just in case I didn’t explain clearly, I want to tell you what I want to accomplish here. The following code worked find, but now I want to add something so that I can skip the date checking if the resolution_date field is blank.

SELECT obj.object_type
FROM apps.opt_log_issue log, discov.opt_changed_database_objects obj
WHERE (UPPER(log.resolution(+)) like ‘%’||obj.object_name||’%’
and trunc(log.resolution_date(+)) – trunc(to_date(substr(obj.last_ddl_time,1,11),’dd-mon-yy’)) <=5
and trunc(log.resolution_date(+)) – trunc(to_date(substr(obj.last_ddl_time,1,11),’dd-mon-yy’)) >=0)

Thank you for your help.
