Re: Converting ISO dates to Timestamp format?

I know that was confusing.. ISO vs *ISO db data type.

Since these types of dates are becoming standard in XML/JSON/etc I thought
maybe there was some SQL function to do it automatically.. it's no fun
stripping apart a string/date and forcing it back into something.

First I questioned whether or not that was an ISO timestamp.
It is:

It's just not Db2's definition of an ISO timestamp.

values timestamp(replace(replace(replace(
'2018-03-07T23:07:56Z', 'Z', ''),
'T', '-'),
':', '.'))

will work.

I submit this with the usual suggestion to put this into a function so you
can error trap, etc.

Are there any SQL functions that can take an ISO data like:

2018-03-07T23:07:56Z

And convert this into a timestamp when inserting into a PF?
