Sample Formula 1:

FORMULA NAME: BEN_ENRT_PERD_START

FORMULA TYPE: Enrollment Period start date

DESCRIPTION: Enrollment period starts MID of next month of marital status change date.

default for PER_ASG_MARITAL_STATUS_DATE is '01-JAN-1951'(date)
L_OCRD_DT = PER_ASG_MARITAL_STATUS_DATE
L_EFF_DATE = GET_CONTEXT(EFFECTIVE_DATE, to_date('01-JAN-2012'))
l_start_dt = L_EFF_DATE
if ( L_OCRD_DT < L_EFF_DATE ) then
( l_last_dt = last_day(L_OCRD_DT)
l_start_dt = add_days(l_last_dt,15)
)
else
( l_start_dt = L_EFF_DATE
)
return l_start_dt

Same formula using canonical date formats:

default for PER_PER_MARITAL_STATUS_DATE is '1951/01/01 00:00:00'(date)
L_OCRD_DT = PER_PER_MARITAL_STATUS_DATE
L_EFF_DATE = GET_CONTEXT(EFFECTIVE_DATE, TO_DATE('1951/01/01
00:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI:SS'))
l_start_dt = L_EFF_DATE
if ( L_OCRD_DT <= L_EFF_DATE ) then
( l_last_dt = last_day(L_OCRD_DT)
l_start_dt = add_days(l_last_dt,15)
)
else
( l_start_dt = L_EFF_DATE
)
return l_start_dt
