Niiiccce Dennis.
But where did you find the answer?
I could not locate this syntax in the DB2 for i SQL Reference v6r1 manual,
which is my usual "goto" for things like this. I would like to know the
rest of this syntax.

OK, I give:
TIME('00:00:00') + (SECOND(END_TIMESTAMP) - SECOND(START_TIMESTAMP))
SECONDS
Yes, it's that easy.

Why don't you just subtract them. That will give you a numeric result
with the result being the hours difference in the first two positions,
then the minutes, then the seconds. You can that use DIGITS, CONCAT
and TIME functions to get it to a TIME format.
with t1 as (select current_time a1,
current_time + 2 hours + 63 minute a2
from
sysibm.sysdummy1)
select t1.*,
SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-A1),1,2)||':'||SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-
A1),3,2)||':'||SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-A1),5,2),
TIME(SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-A1),1,2)||':'||SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-
A1),3,2)||':'||SUBSTRING(DIGITS(A2-A1),5,2))
from t1
It's ugly, but it works.

Subject: Difference between two time values in SQL
When I see the answer it will probably be obvious but I have spent over
two hours trying to create a query to list records including the
difference between two time values. I searched the archives and did a
Google search but didn't see the answer. Lots of information on
differences between dates though.
How does one go about calculating the difference between two time
values in an SQL statement? Do they have to be converted to timestamps
first? I want the result to be a time value as well.
