Name: Calc_Anniversary

Input: Pay_Date, Hire_Date, Termination_Date

Output: "Y" if is the anniversary of the employee's Hire_Date, "N" if it is not, and "T" if he has been terminated before his anniversary.

Description: Create local variables to hold the month and day of the employee's Date_of_Hire, Termination_Date, and of the processing date using the TO_CHAR function. First check to see if he was terminated before his anniversary. The anniversary could be on any day during the pay period, so there will be a loop to check all 14 days in the pay period to see if one was his anniversary.

CREATE OR replace FUNCTION Calc_anniversary(
incoming_anniversary_date IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
  hiredate        VARCHAR2(20);
  terminationdate VARCHAR(20);
  employeeid      VARCHAR2(38);
  paydate         NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
    SELECT Count(arndt_raw_time_sheet_data.pay_date)
    INTO   paydate
    FROM   arndt_raw_time_sheet_data;

    WHILE paydate <= 14 LOOP
        SELECT To_char(employee_id, '999'),
               To_char(hire_date, 'DD-MON'),
               To_char(termination_date, 'DD-MON')
        INTO   employeeid, hiredate, terminationdate
        FROM   employees,
               time_sheet
        WHERE  employees.employee_id = time_sheet.employee_id
               AND paydate = pay_date;

        IF terminationdate > hiredate THEN
          RETURN 'T';
        ELSE
          IF To_char(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON') = To_char(hiredate, 'DD-MON')THEN
            RETURN 'Y';
          ELSE
            RETURN 'N';
          END IF;
        END IF;

        paydate := paydate + 1;
    END LOOP;
END; 

I need help with the loop..
