Hi,

if you want to identify the wrong data
create the function below in sqlplus

create or replace function isDate(segment_in in varchar2)
return varchar2
is
   v_date  date;
begin
  select to_date(substr(segment_in,1,3)||
         decode(substr(segment_in,4,3),
         'ENE','JAN',
         'ABR','APR',
         'AGO','AUG',
         'DIC','DEC',
         substr(segment_in,4,3))||
         substr(segment_in,7,5),'dd-mon-yyyy')
   into v_date
   from dual;
   
   return ('true');
exception
   when others then
      return ('false');
end;
/
show errors

and call it like

select segment10 from ....
where isdate(segment10) = 'false';

bye
