Hello,

version : 19C

I am trying yo capture a date from one of the query and assigning it to date variable and wanted to pass the variable in another Query. below is the sql that i gave a try
declare EXTRACTION_DATE date;
begin

  SELECT max(end_date)  into EXTRACTION_DATE from cxadmin.cycle_count_period;  
   SELECT id, start_date, end_date, trunc(end_date) -
      trunc(start_date)  as period, 
TRUNC(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE(EXTRACTION_DATE), -11 )),'MM') as PeriodFirstDate        
  FROM  cxadmin.cycle_count_period where trunc(end_date) -
      trunc(start_date) >= 60 order by start_date asc ;
 
end; 

for security purpose, i masked the table name.
I am getting the below error when i ran the query.

The error is:

Quote:
an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement

In addition, using TO_DATE on a DATE variable or expression is an error.
