The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
As far as why, I don't care. I'm sure that the consumer of this wants to output the data into a report or some such thing and he asked for it and you're just trying to comply.
This is a good example:
<snip>
If you really want to split and format them...
select char(date(current_timestamp), ISO) as theDate
, char(time(current_timestamp), USA) as theTime
from sysibm.sysdummy1;
</snip>
But a real bit picker would complicate it by storing current timestamp into a variable and then running that variable through that logic. Why? Because if you don't you are calling current timestamp twice and you can get different milliseconds. Done at just the right time (around midnight) you could theoretically get a result from two different days.
But I'm sure that Charles only meant to use current timestamp as an example and your program would be reading a timestamp from a database, and not from current timestamp. So you should be fine.
