Problems with setting up the wait in a process flow

Question

Hi,
I have process flow where I need to use a wait function.
The value of minimum_delay is set to 30
literal = true
the value of until_date I've been trying to set to a appropriate date format that is consistent with the default in the database.
When doing this I get the error message ORA-01841:     (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
setting the value of until_date to null and literal still true gives me the error ORA-06502:     PL/SQL: numeric or value error. Setting the literal to false also gives me this error.
Does anyone know how I can set this up correctly? And if its possible, not use the until_date parameter.
any help is appreciated
regards,
Ragnar

Thanks for your replies:
I've tried running the Processflow with different parameters.
The processflow I am trying to run is in its own Module, with just one processflow, and the wait is the only activity in this.
Its a nice mix of english and norwegian in the error messages, but I'll try to translate as best I can.

So thats basically it.
What language settings have you been using for this to work?
