Datepart function in Oracle

I want to use the datepart function to get the month of my variable. Is this allowed in Oracle or am I off on the syntax?

I want to use the datepart function to get the month of my variable: 
 Datepart(month,ABC_Date)
Is this allowed in Oracle or am I off on the syntax?
Oracle does not have a datepart function. But the syntax: 
 Datepart(month,abc_date) = '03'
can be converted to the following in the Oracle date routine: 
 to_char(abc_date,'mm') = '03'
