Thanks for the clarification.
The problem is still this:
select date('20191001') - date('20190101') ;
in my servers it is always '273'.
In the customer's DB it is '273 days';
Thanks
Danny

This will always return an integer, unless either the date() cast or the
-(date,date) operator have been redefined or modified.
Abraham> The fix is:
Abraham> select date_part ('day', age( date(cm_curr_date), date(CM_DATE))) into diff_days from CMS_SYSPRM;
This doesn't do the same thing, it will give a different result if the dates differ by a month or more.

None of these things can affect data types.
