varchar_format illegal on customer box?

Trying to figure out why the below statements works fine in embedded sql on
our development box but not for our customer?



select dec(varchar_format(current_date, 'YYYYMMDD'),8,0)

from sysibm.sysdummy1



and



select dec(varchar_format(current_date, 'MMDDYYYY'),8,0)

from sysibm.sysdummy1




and



select dec(varchar_format(current_timestamp, 'HHMM'),4,0)

from sysibm.sysdummy1



On customer box, the joblog shows...

Argument 1 of function VARCHAR_FORMAT not valid.
DECIMAL use not valid.


Any ideas?
