Thanks, Birgitta! No, I was using my little V5R4 machine. I probably should have tried on something a little more recent, no? :) Thanks for the up to date information! You made me do a little more research and I found that VARCHAR_FORMAT was added in DB2 9.5 a few years ago.

Actually, I should say that VARCHAR_FORMAT was *enhanced* in DB2 9.5. It was added at least as far back as DB2 8, but with very limited formatting support. And for people like me who hate to type a lot, TO_CHAR works as a synonym for VARCHAR_FORMAT.
