Hi
I have a column in a DB2 table which is of DATE datatype.
The value stored is 2015-12-02.
I need to write a SELECT query which I can run using IKJEFT01 which will format it as '20151202'
I used
SELECT CHAR(YEAR(ONLINE_DATE))||
CHAR(MONTH(ONLINE_DATE))||
CHAR(DAY(ONLINE_DATE)).
But it returned me
2015 12 2
Is there anyway to achieve this. I tried using SUBSTR. But it was throwing some error. Can we use SUBSTR on a DATE column
Any advice is appreciated |

Please ignore this. Below worked
SELECT SUBSTR(CHAR(ONLINE_DATE),1,4),
SUBSTR(CHAR(ONLINE_DATE),6,2),
SUBSTR(CHAR(ONLINE_DATE),9,2) |

No it didn't. Why? Because nothing on the mainframe "throws" an error. You could have said that it errored in the same manner - but it was not an error, just the wrong output. |

You could also use:
| Code: |
SELECT VARCHAR_FORMAT(my_date,'YYYYMMDD')
FROM my.table |
