Thanks for the pointer.
I’ve now amended the text accordingly ( it was already included in the script itself).

spot on, FMDay doesn’t have the trailing space issue. However, I thought it worth mentioning about the DAY and MONTH format specifiers as, ultimately, you’re using TO_CHAR and would have, I think, a reasonable expectation of getting a VARCHAR2 back.

It can also be used with DD and so on to remove leading zeros.
