Yes this is almost there. Does it matter that the field is packed numeric?
compare to Current Date is now giving this>

The operands of comparison operator = are not compatible. -- Numeric
operands are compatible with any other numeric operands and with character
and graphic operands. -- Character operands are compatible with operands
that are character, graphic, date, time, timestamp, or numeric. -- Date,
time, and timestamp operands are compatible with character and graphic
operands or with another operand of the same type. -- Graphic operands are
compatible with graphic, character, date, time, timestamp, or numeric
operands. -- Binary operands are compatible only with binary operands. --
Operands that are user-defined types can only be compared to operands that
are the same exact type. -- DataLink operands cannot be compared. Recovery
. . . : Check the data types of all operands to see if the data types
are compatible. If all the operands of the SQL statement are correct and a
view is being accessed, then check the data types of all the operands in the
view definition. Correct the errors. Try the request again.".

I can do
select columna, columnb, columnc, current date from tableQ

I haven't tested it but you should be able to change this

select * from
...
and CASTAT = ''Y''')

to

select current date, a.* from
...
and CASTAT = ''Y''') a

Look carefully. Both lines were changed.

So the issue is, you can only show what is being selected, so how to
compare against current date if not in the list? Is there a syntax
needed for Current Date?

I don't see CURRENTDATE in your SELECT statement so that leads me to
think
it's being used in openquery().
SQL on the IBM i uses either CURRENT DATE (with a space between) or
CURRENT_DATE.

Do you have the source for openquery() or can you generate the
source
for
it?

Possibly the issue is using this IBS tool this openquery?
