Matt,

This should do the trick:

select
char((year(current date) * 10000) + (month(current date) * 100) +
day(current date))
from sysibm.sysdummy1

HTH,

Subject
Date to 8 char in SQL






I'm trying to get a character representation of the current date in sql. I

can get the date in ISO format, but it has the '-' in it. What is the
easiest way to get the current date in YYYYMMDD format?

I know that I can do something like:

substr(char(curdate(), iso),1,4) concat substr(char(curdate(), iso),6,2)
concat substr(char(curdate(), iso),9,2)

There must be a simpler way?! Isn't there?
