If you're doing this as embedded SQL in an RPG program, my personal
experience with using "CURRENT DATE" in an SQL statement is that it is much
slower than using a date variable from the program you are using.  (e.g. if
in RPG, initialize variable TODAY to current date and then use :TODAY in
place of "CURRENT DATE").

         and tpnbr.tpnbr = tpfacl.tpnbr
         and tpnbr.tpttype = tpfacl.tpttype)
where login.logid='RALPH' and login.logpas='MALPH'
 and login.logsts='1'
 and login.logpwex='0'
 and (login.logpwei<0 or
     (CURRENT DATE > DATE(logpwcd + logpwei days)))

Hey Rob

You should be able to say:

CURRENT DATE > DATE(logpwcd) + logpwei DAYS

I am trying to add days to a date in SQL.  Sample application
Password last change date is logpwcd stored as a timestamp.
Password expiration interval is logpwei stored as a decimal.

Now I've got this big complex sql statement with the following in it:
(CURRENT DATE > (logpwcd+logpwei))
Evidently you can't add an integer to a timestamp.  Which makes sense
because it didn't know if it was a day, seconds, or whatever.
Trying
(CURRENT DATE > (logpwcd+days(logpwei)))
hurls with SQL0171-Argument 1 of function DAYS not valid.
-- DAYS, the argument must be a date or a timestamp.
