That does not give me the desired results:

tsm: ULTSM> select date(pending_date) as "Date",count(*) from volumes
where -
cont>  status='PENDING' group by pending_date

      Date      Unnamed[2]
----------     -----------
2004-11-27               1
2004-11-27               1
2004-11-27               1
2004-11-27               1
2004-11-27               1

group by pending_date groups by the time stamp not the date stamp.  I
want a count of pending tapes by date not by second.

The group by statement is incorrect, use the following:

group by pending_date

the conversion to date format is already taken care of
in the first part of the select statement.
