I have a note that I made a while back from Birgitta Hauser. It has
always worked for me. The trick is to make sure the number is CAST as
DEC(8,0).
--NOTE:The numeric data value must be 8,0 in order for this to work.
--If necessary, cast the source value as DEC(8,0).
--Date(Digits(A.MyNum) concat '000000')
--Example:
SELECTA.MyNum
, Digits(A.MyNum) concat '000000'
, Date(Digits(A.MyNum) concat '000000') --**HERE IS THE CONVERSION**
FROM(SELECT Cast(20100310 as Dec(8, 0)) AS MyNum FROM sysibm.sysdummy1 ) A
Notice that the literal date, 20100310, was CAST as Dec(8,0) in the
example above.When using numeric values directly (without decimal
positions) these values are interpreted as being Integer and the Integer
format consists of 10 digits instead of 8 which are expected.
