Hello,
I would try either PM or AM in the format specification -both work:
MYDB> select to_char(sysdate,'hh.mi.ss pm') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH.MI.SS PM')
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
09.22.45 am
1 row selected.
MYDB> select to_char(sysdate,'hh.mi.ss am') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH.MI.SS AM')
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
09.23.03 am
1 row selected.
