[SOLVED] Oracle Upgrade to 11c Causing Issues with HYYMDS field in Excel Output

Hi, I've run into a problem with an HYYMDS field in Excel output since we recently upgraded our Oracle database from 10 to 11g. We're currently still on WF 7.7.03 (yeah, I know) Smiler with plans to upgrade to 8.2. this year. In the meantime, I've run into the following problem with the Oracle upgrade.
When the user chooses "EXL2K" output for their report the HYYMDS field is printed out correctly. But when they choose "EXCEL" output, they get weird results, for example - 3-"|^mx. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a fix for it or do I need to delete the EXCEL option from the Report Output choices?
Thanks!

Are you saying you're using
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXCEL?

I think that format has been sunset quite a while back. Have you tried:

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX

Thanks, I wasn't aware it had been sunset - we have a few old reports with that option on a menu screen. I'll remove the option.
