Red face interval datatype...
What does the following statement do...

current year to day - interval (86) day (3) to day

Nope. It means subtract 86 days. The (3) is the number of significant digits in the INTERVAL number of days, so it maxes out at 999.

Interval is a pretty tricky data type, so if you are planning to work with it, study up and use it carefully.
