Hi Jack

It looks like your date is not ISO.

I'd leave out the time concatenation and just do "+ 12 hours" after the timestamp_format right parenthesis. and skip the HMS format string. Neat - clean - simple!

I think I've got it figured out...

timestamp_format(char(EntryDt) || ' 12:00:00', 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS')

I am trying to insert data into another table that has a timestamp field,
but I only have an ISO date in my source table.

I can default everything to 12pm or anything really. How can I do that?
Still googling but no luck yet.

Thanks, Art
