iSeries at V7R1, about a year behind on PTF's
I'm using the TO_CHAR SQL function to output time-stamp info in a
'user-friendly' format.
In one document I found discussing this function, I see the comment:
"AM is the default meridian indicator."
So-far, I've not been able to create a TO_CHAR format string on our
iSeries that returns a time with an AM/PM "indicator" - so I think I
need to use a CASE statement ?
What format-string was specified [and of course was expected to
function as desired], and what were the unexpected results? Was perhaps
the following string attempted, and with what results?:
TO_CHAR(myTimeStampColumn,'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI AM')
Might the CHAR function suffice, using the value USA as the second
argument for the TIME-value specified as the datetime-expression for the
first argument, concatenated to the end of the VARCHAR_FORMAT using a
format-string that does not include the TIME portion [that fails to
format properly], to serve as a circumvention pending resolution to the
difficulty? Perhaps:
TO_CHAR(myTimeStampColumn,'Day DD Mon YYYY ')
concat CHAR(TIME(myTimeStampColumn), USA)
