Stefan,
If you look at the query in the first part it returns all the numbers then I
use TO_NUMBER, the strange is when I drop the table and recreate it the
query work fine.

Hi Hamid
by making sure that the first charakter of msc_service_code is in the range
[0-9],
you have no guarantee for the rest of the VARCHAR being numeric, too. It
could
contain anything else, so your to_number might go down the drain ...

Stefan

RE: NEED YOUR OPINION
Hamid,
You WHERE clause is causing the problem.
When you say :
to_number(a.MSC_SERVICE_CODE) between 7 and 30
you are forcing Oracle to convert the values of the column MSC_SERVICE_CODE
to a number. Your data shows that the current values contain letters, thus
the "invalid number" error.
Hope this helps.

RE: NEED YOUR OPINION
Hamid,
I believe the problem is in your 'to_number(a.MSC_SERVICE_CODE)' section in
your where clause. This is trying to do a to_number on a field that could
have a non numeric value in the field.
Hope this helps,
