Try this SQL query. Replace CURRENT TIMESTAMP with your column name and SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 with your table name.

Code:
SELECT      SUBSTR( CHAR(CURRENT TIMESTAMP),1,10)       
  || ' ' || SUBSTR( DIGITS (HOUR(CURRENT TIMESTAMP)),9) 
  || ':' || SUBSTR( DIGITS (MINUTE(CURRENT TIMESTAMP)),9)
  || ':' || SUBSTR( DIGITS (SECOND(CURRENT TIMESTAMP)),9)
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 WITH UR;                           


Output:
Code:
COL001                 
#1                     
VARCHAR(19)           
<---+----1----+--->   
****  Top of data  ****
2014-09-10 07:52:25   
****  End of data  ****

from sysibm.sysdummy1

Hi Rohit,

This won't give him space between date and time part.

Mistah,

You are right, but I was thinking why it add '-' when we perform any function on timestamp.

But may then below should work, so it up to TS which one to pick.
Code:
select SUBSTR(char(current timestamp),1,10)|| ' ' ||
REPLACE(SUBSTR(char(current timestamp),12,8),'.',':')
                    from sysibm.sysdummy1
