Date format in the Column command

edited Apr 25, 2010 8:12PM in SQL*Plus (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered
 Hi, could someone advise me the correct syntax of date format in the Column Command (see below)?  It always returns "Illegal Format String".

COL "Date Due"           HEADING "Date Due"         JUSTIFY LEFT format 'dd-Mmm-yyyy'

I want to have a date format like "15-Apr-2010".  

Thanks.
