FM and FX format specifier.

Question

How could I turn off FM or FX format specifier in oracle forms builder? I mean to say , where I would find these format specifiers , so that I could turn 'em off and won't get error ORA 01850?

Sir
After using Date type, I'm getting ORA-01858
My coding:
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('block4');
FIRST_RECORD;
LOOP
     IF :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD <> 'TRUE' THEN
INSERT INTO tender_opening_supp
( TOS_ENQ_NO,TOS_NATURE_OF_BID,TOS_SUPP_CODE,TOS_BID_SEAL_CONDN,TOS_BID_RECPT_DT_TM,TOS_REPRESENTATIVE_NAME,
TOS_REPRESENTATIVE_DESIGN)
VALUES
(:block3.ten_num_2,:block3.nature_of_bid,:block4.ven_num,:block4.radio_group5,
to_date(:block4.ten_rec_dt || :block4.ten_rec_tim,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
:block4.repr_name,:block4.repr_desg);
     NEXT_RECORD;
     ELSE
     INSERT INTO tender_opening_supp
( TOS_ENQ_NO,TOS_NATURE_OF_BID,TOS_SUPP_CODE,TOS_BID_SEAL_CONDN,TOS_BID_RECPT_DT_TM,TOS_REPRESENTATIVE_NAME,
TOS_REPRESENTATIVE_DESIGN)
VALUES
(:block3.ten_num_2,:block3.nature_of_bid,:block4.ven_num,:block4.radio_group5,
to_date(:block4.ten_rec_dt || :block4.ten_rec_tim,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
:block4.repr_name,:block4.repr_desg);
     EXIT;
     END IF;
END LOOP;
FIRST_RECORD;
STANDARD.COMMIT;
END;
Now tell me what do I do?
