I tried making the changes *YMD and *PERIOD (just to test) in the JDBC settings in Run SQL Scripts... and the session re-connected successfully. But, when I ran the statement, I still got MM/DD/YY format with LOCAL :

SELECT CHAR(StartDate, LOCAL), CHAR(EndDate, LOCAL) FROM (SELECT MIN(dayid) as StartDate, MAX(dayid) AS EndDate FROM mySchema.ludate WHERE yearid = '2014' AND datemn = '01' ) A

Do I need to change the 2nd attribute as well?

For embedded SQL: the SET OPTION statement provides you with a way to
override the default date formatting ( along with other compile time and

You would execute this statement prior to any other SQL statement to set
the environment:

SET OPTION DATFMT=*YMD, DATSEP=*SLASH

On the interactive side:
For STRSQL: F13>1 change session attributes
For Run SQL Statements: Connection>JDBC Settings

SET OPTION DATFMT=*MDY, DATSEP=*SLASH
