Casting in case statement - forum topic by nileshbhaw

Hi ,
 
I am trying to cast date to default values inside the case statement ,
 Select
CAST (CASE WHEN OFR_STRT_DT='1900-01-01' THEN ‘NA’ ELSE OFR_STRT_DT END as varchar (10) ) as OFR_STRT_DT
From UD466.FF_PRCSS
Where elg_flg = 'Y';
Datatype of OFR_STRT_DT is date but while converting to default value 'NA' its not working , it says datatype mismatch
