Using {ts 'yyyy-mm-dd'} escape clause won't work

Question

Hello,
I hope someone might answer this on this generic e-mail address
I found on the page.
I'm having problems with the {ts} esapce syntax in a SQL query.
Could anyone help me?
Here is a list of the following attempts with the {ts} call and
the Oracle Errors that I'm receiving.

I've tried everything under the "Sun"...!!!
I don't really want to hard code the oracle to_char function for
the app for other RDBMS databases.
Any Help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,

Don't know it this helps, but I don't have any trouble reading
from the Oracle DB, its writing that's the problem. Here's what
I do to read: (using IBM Visual Age as dev tool & jsp webpages)
1. Register Oracle Driver.
2. Connection con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@cs10k1f:1521:oracldb", "username",
"passwd");
3. Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
4. SQL statement: sqlstmt = " select create_dt from table where
condition;
5. rset = stmt.executeQuery(sqlstmt);
6. this.setCreate_date(rset.getDate("CREATE_DATE"));
setCreate_date(java.sql.Date var_name) where method sets a
private var declared to be java.sql.Date. Date comes back as
'yyyy-mm-dd'.
That's really all there is to it. Please notice that we're
using the Oracle "thin" driver.
Sorry if this is too much info, but I'm kind of new to all of
this, and I know what I'd like to see in reply. Let me know if
you get the db write solved.
