ORA-00909 invalid number of arguments

Cause: An Oracle function was referenced with an incorrect
number of arguments. All Oracle functions, except for
SYSDATE, require at least one argument.

Action: Correct the syntax of the function by entering the
required number of arguments.

Answer / nitin

Let SYSDATE = '20-Sep-2012'

Use below query,

select to_char(trunc(add_months(sysdate,-
3),'mm'),'mm/dd/yyyy') from dual;

It will give you ...
o/p :

'06/01/2012'
