Grrr. IT is not a good way to design dates ...
But anyway, the missing condition could be as:
and to_date(eyear||emonth||sdate','yyyymmdd') > YOURDATE
and to_date(eyear||emonth||edate','yyyymmdd') < YOURDATE
This to look for the records being within the YOURDATE. If you want to look for the records that start at YOURDATE1 and finish at YOURDATE2 Put this:
and to_date(eyear||emonth||sdate','yyyymmdd') = YOURDATE 1
and to_date(eyear||emonth||edate','yyyymmdd') = YOURDATE2
Otherwise, deal with these examples.....
