Forgot you have to add in your utc time offset in seconds as well. This would be better as a UDF since you have to parse that up into hours and minutes on the off chance you're in a timezone that uses offsets that also have minutes.

Is there some way to generate the epoch time in SQL?
I tried
values generate_unique()
but that was blank.
And I tried the ancient
select generate_unique() from sysibm.sysdummy1 but that worked the same

I took a wag at
values cast(generate_unique() as char(30)) but that wasn't any better.

This was a little different
values generate_unique(), timestamp(generate_unique()) ....+....1....+....2....+.
VALUES
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2015-11-10-21.04.02.786923
******** End of data ***

Before I never even got the plus signs.

I was pointed to this epoch site by IBM
