Hi,

Is there any way we can convert the date value stored as a char(8) column in a DB2 table to a date column ? I tried different scalar functions.
I couldn't get it. We use DB2 V7 in our shop.
For example --
If the char date stored as '20001120' and I want to select it as a DB2 date column in format 'ddmmmyyyy'. ( 20NOV2000 ). Please let me know.


Thanks,
Ram.

Hi,

I found the solution. If I use substr funtion and date function
it is working as below.


SELECT (DATE(SUBSTR(CUR_QUOTE_ENTER_DT,1,4)||'-'||
SUBSTR(CUR_QUOTE_ENTER_DT,5,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR(CUR_QUOTE_ENTER_DT,7,2)))
FROM CEDDBAP.SM_MISC

Thanks.
