You can try to use the function Timestamp to convert given date into timestamp format.

TIMESTAMP (START_DATE, START_TIME)
for ex: TIMESTAMP('2007-09-28',' ')

the output will be timestamp format as 2007-09-28-00.00.00.000000

Hello Murmohk,

I tried TIMESTAMP_ISO function but i guess we might have previous version of DB2 installed, i am getting the below error:

DSNT408I SQLCODE = -440, ERROR: NO FUNCTION BY THE NAME TIMESTAMP_ISO HAVING COMPATIBLE ARGUMENTS WAS FOUND IN THE CURRENT PATH

below is the SQL i am using
SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE UPDATE_TIMESTAMP >
TIMESTAMP_ISO('2007-09-9');

Do you have any idea about this ?

i tried your solution it is giving me below error:

SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE UPDATE_TIMESTAMP >
TIMESTAMP('2007-09-18','-00.00.00.000000');

DSNT408I SQLCODE = -180, ERROR: THE DATE, TIME, OR TIMESTAMP VALUE *N IS INVALID

Could you please share the SQL with me which you executed?

You could use
Code:
where update_timestamp > '2007-09-18-
00.00.00.000000'


or the slightly less efficient
Code:
where date(update_timestamp) > '2007-09-18'
