Hi There,
When I try to extract the date tag value from XML data, the time stored in 20120602153021 format i.e., YYYYMMDD24HHMISS format.
The following statement extracts only date as 02-JUN-12 however do not extract the time part.
If I try the same in SQLplus with to_date it works however fails in PL/SQL.
XML data:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RECORD>
<REGTIMESTAMP>20120601130010</REGTIMESTAMP>
</RECORD>

PL/SQL Extract:

CURSOR c_xml_record
IS
SELECT extract(value(d), '//ACTIVATIONTS/text()').getStringVal() AS REGTIMESTAMP,
FROM t_xml_data x,
table(xmlsequence(extract(x.xml_message, '/RECORD'))) d;

BEGIN
OPEN c_xml_record;
FETCH c_xml_record INTO
p_omful_rec.activation_ts --- omits timepart

CLOSE c_xml_record;


Please help

extract(value(d), '//ACTIVATIONTS/text()').getStringVal() must fail because the node in your little XML is //REGTIMESTAMP.
Try:
WITH xdata AS
 (SELECT XMLType(
 '<RECORD>
    <REGTIMESTAMP>20120601130010</REGTIMESTAMP>
  </RECORD>') xd FROM dual)
SELECT extract(value(d), '//REGTIMESTAMP/text()').getStringVal() AS REGTIMESTAMP
  FROM xdata x,
 TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(x.xd, '/RECORD'))) d;

REGTIMESTAMP

You haven't shown where or how you are using to_date or demonstrated the failure. The 20120601130010 is a character string and must be either be fetched into a character data type like varchar2 or rely on implicit conversion, which can cause problems. Then you can apply to_date to it. Then you can use to_char to display the stored date and time in any format you want, with or without the time. When you do not specify a date format, you get whatever the default nls_date_format is currently set to. Please see the demonstration below, noting the different code that produces the different date formats.

-- test data:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> create table t_xml_data
  2    (xml_message  xmltype)
  3  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> insert into t_xml_data values (xmltype (
  2  '<?xml version="1.0"?>
  3  <RECORD>
  4  <REGTIMESTAMP>20120601130010</REGTIMESTAMP>
  5  </RECORD>'))
  6  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from t_xml_data
  2  /
