Description of the illustration fiscal_start_end_fn.gif

• dtexpr is a datetime expression with one of the following types (or any value that can be implicitly converted to DATE): DATE, TIMESTAMP,

• All fiscal functions take an optional fiscal_year_start parameter defining the month and day of the start of the fiscal year.

  If the fiscal_year_start parameter is specified, it’s an expression of type DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, or TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE representing the first day in the fiscal year. All components other than the month and day are ignored.

  If the fiscal_year_start function argument is not specified, the value of the CALENDAR_FISCAL_YEAR_START system/session parameter is used (which itself defaults to January 1 if not specified). The CALENDAR_FISCAL_YEAR_START system/session parameter is a text value that will be converted to a DATE using the NLS_DATE_FORMAT. An optional second parameter value may be specified to use an explicit format, such as:

ALTER SESSION SET CALENDAR_FISCAL_YEAR_START = '01-JUN-2025', 'DD-MON-YYYY'

• TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE .

• nlsparam is a text expression representing an NLS parameter setting. The only currently supported parameter is NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE, and is specified in the same manner as for TO_CHAR and TO_DATE.
