Re: Interactive SQL with concatination

I have idate and use it regularly - this was just something I was testing
adhoc.

As an aside, have you looked at iDate at www think400.dk/downloads.htm.

Instead if all the substringing and cating you just do

Select iDate(dtrtdt,'*ISO')
From your table

Gives you back a date data type.

Thank you

There must have been something just before the right(digits(dtrtdt),2)

as

iso_date

Even pasting into Notepad++ and viewing did not show what it was but you
are correct there has to have been something foreign there.

Is the result the same if you hand key the statements in STRSQL vs copy

and

paste? If so I think you might have a tab character in the failing
statement.

This is weird ...

There are two SQL statements below, the first gives an error and the

second

does not.

These were entered in the STRSQL on a V7R3 system current on PTF's as

at

June 2018

The only difference is the positioning of the concatenation.

Job CCSID is 37

Why is this so ?

Both run in ACS Run SQL Scripts

select substr(digits(dtrtdt),1,4) || '-' ||
substr(digits(dtrtdt),5,2) || '-' ||
right(digits(dtrtdt),2) as iso_date
from mfsdtrpf
Token was not valid. Valid tokens: ( + - ? : DAY INF LAG NAN RID R

select substr(digits(dtrtdt),1,4) || '-'
|| substr(digits(dtrtdt),5,2) || '-'
|| right(digits(dtrtdt),2) as iso_date
from mfsdtrpf
SELECT statement run complete.
