ORA-01841 - (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0

Question

Hi Comunnity,
Let me explain the scenario:
We want to replicate a number of Discoverer reports, adding more columns to the reports. Due to the internal structure of the views and materialized tables, we can not make the joins inside the Discoverer Administration Edition, so we have decided to replicate the original materialized table adding the columns in order to get what we want. So the new materialized table has built as follows:
CREATE TABLE APPS.GUZMAN_STOCK_DEPRE_EXIST_MAT_X
EMPRESA VARCHAR2(240 BYTE),
COD_ORGANIZACION NUMBER,
COD_SECCION VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
SECCION VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
FAMILIA VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
NOMBRE_PRODUCTO VARCHAR2(240 BYTE),
DESCRIPCION_ARTICULO VARCHAR2(240 BYTE),
UNIDAD_EXISTENCIA_ACT NUMBER,
PRECIO_MEDIO NUMBER,
FECHA_ULT_VENTA DATE,
FECHA_ULT_COMPRA DATE,
FECHA_ULT_MOVIMIENTO DATE,
PRECIO_ULT_COMPRA NUMBER,
CLASE_UNIDAD VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
COD_ORG_INV NUMBER,
ORG_INV_NAME VARCHAR2(240 BYTE),
COD_ARTICULO NUMBER,
AÑO VARCHAR2(2 BYTE),
MES VARCHAR2(2 BYTE),
ULTIMO_DIA_TRANS DATE,
SEIS_MESES_ANTES DATE,
DOCE_MESES_ANTES DATE,
DIECIOCHO_MESES_ANTES DATE,
SEIS_MESES NUMBER,
SIETE_DOCE_MESES NUMBER,
TRECE_DIECIOCHO_MESES NUMBER,
FCOMVACIA NUMBER,
TIPO_ARTICULO VARCHAR2(80 BYTE),
TRANSACTION_ID NUMBER,
FECHA_MOVIMIENTO DATE,
TIPO_MOVIMIENTO VARCHAR2(80 BYTE)
TABLESPACE APPLSYSD
PCTUSED 40
NOMONITORING;
The bold fields are the new ones. So we added the materialized table as a new folder in our working business area and add the following new intems:
Valor Compra = CASE WHEN Precio Ult Compra = 0 THEN Importe Stocks ELSE Unidad Existencia Act*Precio Ult Compra END
Importe Stocks = Unidad Existencia Act*Precio Medio
Depreciación = CASE WHEN Valor Compra < Importe Stocks THEN Importe Stocks-Valor Compra ELSE 0 END
DiasMes = CASE WHEN ((((((Mes = '01' OR Mes = '03') OR Mes = '05') OR Mes = '07') OR Mes = '08') OR Mes = '10') OR Mes = '12') THEN 31 WHEN (((Mes = '04' OR Mes = '06') OR Mes = '09') OR Mes = '11') THEN 30 ELSE 28 END
fecha_MES = TO_NUMBER(CONCAT(DiasMes,Mes))
Nueva_Fecha = TO_DATE(CONCAT(fecha_MES,Ano))
Dias = NVL(Nueva_Fecha-Fecha Ult Venta,0)
PorcenDepre = CASE WHEN Dias = 0 AND DiasC < 181 THEN 0 WHEN Dias = 0 AND DiasC > 180 THEN 100 WHEN Dias < 181 THEN 0 WHEN Dias < 361 THEN 25 WHEN Dias < 540 THEN 50 WHEN Dias > 541 THEN 100 ELSE 0 END
Valor Depr = Valor Compra*PorcenDepre/100
DiasC = NVL(Nueva_Fecha-Fecha Ult Compra,0)
PorcenDepreC = CASE WHEN DiasC = 0 THEN 100 WHEN DiasC < 181 THEN 0 WHEN DiasC < 361 THEN 25 WHEN DiasC < 540 THEN 50 WHEN DiasC > 541 THEN 100 ELSE 0 END
Valor DepreC = Valor Compra*PorcenDepreC/100
T6 = CASE WHEN Unidad Existencia Act >= SEISMESES THEN SEISMESES ELSE Unidad Existencia Act END
T12 = CASE WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-T6 > DOCEMESES THEN DOCEMESES WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-T6 < DOCEMESES THEN Unidad Existencia Act-T6 WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-T6 = DOCEMESES THEN Unidad Existencia Act-T6 END
T18 = CASE WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12 ) > DIECIOCHOMESES THEN DIECIOCHOMESES WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12 ) < DIECIOCHOMESES THEN Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12 ) WHEN Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12 ) = DIECIOCHOMESES THEN Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12 ) END
TR = Unidad Existencia Act-( T6+T12+T18 )
DT6 = T6*Precio Medio*0/100
DT12 = ( T12*Precio Medio )*25/100
DT18 = T18*Precio Medio*50/100
DTR = TR*Precio Medio*100/100
DTOTAL = DT6+DT12+DT18+DTRVCIA+DFCOMPVCIA
SEISMESES = CASE WHEN NVL(Seis Meses,0) < 0 THEN 0 ELSE NVL(Seis Meses,0) END
DOCEMESES = CASE WHEN NVL(Siete Doce Meses,0) < 0 THEN 0 ELSE NVL(Siete Doce Meses,0) END
DIECIOCHOMESES = CASE WHEN NVL(Trece Dieciocho Meses,0) < 0 THEN 0 ELSE NVL(Trece Dieciocho Meses,0) END
FCOMPVCIA = DECODE(Fecha Ult Compra,NULL,Unidad Existencia Act,0)
TRVCIA = TR-FCOMPVCIA
DTRVCIA = TRVCIA*Precio Medio*100/100
DFCOMPVCIA = FCOMPVCIA*Precio Medio*100/100
Due to Discoverer does not allow foreign characters (ñ), we have changed the name of Field Año to Ano (as you can check in the Nueva_Fecha calculated field).
Now, when we select the fields (Empresa, Cod Sección, Nombre Producto, Unidad Existencia Act, Precio Medio, Fecha Ult Venta, Fecha Ult Compra, Fecha Ult Movimiento, Precio Ult Compra, Org Inv Name, Ano, Mes, Valor Compra, Importe Stocks, Depreciación, Dias, PorcenDepre, Valor Depr, DiasC, PorcenDepreC, ValorDepreC) in order to build a new report, Discoverer shows us the ORA-01841 Error.
Can be produced the error by the way in which discoverer stores the Nueva_Fecha Field?, cause as we check the field in Adminostration Edition, it appears as TO_DATE(CONCAT(fecha_MES,'Ano')) (with the field Ano in simple quotes), or just by any other circumstance?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Luis.
Update:*
It seems that the problem comes with the item created in Discoverer Administration Edition "Nueva_Fecha":
Nueva_Fecha = TO_DATE(CONCAT(fecha_MES,Ano))
(Keep in mind that:
fecha_MES = TO_NUMBER(CONCAT(DiasMes,Mes))
DiasMes = CASE WHEN ((((((Mes = '01' OR Mes = '03') OR Mes = '05') OR Mes = '07') OR Mes = '08') OR Mes = '10') OR Mes = '12') THEN 31 WHEN (((Mes = '04' OR Mes = '06') OR Mes = '09') OR Mes = '11') THEN 30 ELSE 28 END
), so any created field that uses Nueva_Fecha or is derivated from Nueva_Fecha causes the error (e.g. --> Dias = NVL(Nueva_Fecha-Fecha Ult Venta,0))
Then; How can we configure the field in order that discoverer deals with it as a date field?
Regards,
Luis.

Hi,
I think you forgot the separator in the string you want to convert to date.
Your problem lies in the format of the date you are trying to create.
try
Nueva_Fecha = TO_DATE(DiasMes||'-'||Mes||'-'||Ano ,'DD-MM-YYYY')
BTW
you can use || instead of CONCAT so that you can concatenate more than 2 values each time
