There is no such function pre-defined.
If you really need it (and not only are used to use it), then
a user-defined-function calling

select 
86400 * (datediff ( <your timestamp>, '19700101000000') +
 3600 * hour      ( <your timestamp> )                  +
   60 * minute    ( <your timestamp> )                  +
        second    ( <your timestamp> )
into :outputparam from dual

may help
