Gary,

I'm glad you were able to eventually make use of Chuck's response. I
do have a small comment though (see below).

The time format is exactly what I want; the solution I think I'll use is:

SELECT
TO_CHAR(CURRENT TIMESTAMP, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI AM')
FROM SYSIBM/SYSDUMMY1

Which returns:

TO_CHAR
03/26/15 13:06 PM

Sometimes it takes a while to fully digest what Chuck is saying. When
he asked if you tried 'HH24:MI AM', he was actually probing to find
out if you really DID try that, because he thought maybe that was one
possible reason you were "not successful" thus far.

See, you normally don't ask for both 24-hour time AND the AM/PM
indicator. If you want to make it as human-friendly as possible (for
Americans), you most likely want 'MM/DD/YY HH:MI AM' (12-hour time,
with AM/PM indicator).
