RE: Select Results in a DB2 statement

["Brian Piotrowski" <bpiotrowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Richard.

The only problem is that the field is a 4S 0, so when the time less than
10:00am, it will only display those characters not equal to 0.  So when
I look at the table, 12:03am is really 3, 2:55am is really 255, etc.

Brian.

perhaps :

select * from SST30 where spplcd ='2' and

concat(char(spcrdt),char(spcrtm)) >='200511030600' and

concat(char(spcrdt),char(spcrtm)) <='200511040200'

order by spcrdt, spcrtm

Hi All,

 

I have an SQL statement that has this:

 

select * from SST30 where spplcd ='2' and

concat(char(spcrdt),char(spcrtm)) >='20051103600' and

concat(char(spcrdt),char(spcrtm)) <='20051104200'

order by spcrdt, spcrtm

 

When I run the statement, I get a list of records between 2005/11/04
7:43 am and 2005/11/05 19:04pm.  However, the records I am expecting it
to return should be between 2005/11/03 6:00am and 2005/11/04 2:00am.

 

I did check our DB2 table, and there indeed records in there from
2005/11/03 6:56am and 2005/11/03 22:23pm.  Why doesn't this statement
pick up these records?  Does it have something to do with using the
concat command and converting the values to characters?  If so, is there
a better way to handle this conversion?

 

Thanks!


Brian.
