Partho,

     select

     ((case

     when cast('31-dec-2005' as date format 'dd-mmm-yyyy')-date > 0

     then

     date

     else

     cast('31-dec-2005' as date format 'dd-mmm-yyyy')

     end )-due_date)

This should help to get the least but, arthmetica opperation on date will always lead to integer value so no need to use a ceil fucntion.

in case you are using timestamp, you need to add

     ( (above) + .999999999 ) as integer).

Hope this works for you..

Thanks,

Gopi
