Re: Formatting a time field with SQL

Thanks Charles. That worked perfectly. I used the time data type.

Raul, %editw only works in RPG and I needed an SQL solution. Thanks anyway.

9B? Wow...

Do you want to convert it to an actual time data type, or a string?

Time would be my recommendation...
select
time(timestamp_format(right(digits(int(200))
,4)
,'HH24:MI'))
from sysibm.sysdummy1

If you really want a string, throw a VARCHAR_FORMAT in there instead of TIME
select
varchar_format(
timestamp_format(right(digits(int(200))
,4)
,'HH24:MI')
,'HH24:MI')
from sysibm.sysdummy1

Hi,

I have a field in file defined as 9B 0 that represents a time in hours and
minutes. I want to display the value as HH:MM using SQL. I assume it
involves casting the value to a character. However, I can't figure out how
to keep a leading zero for a time like 02:00 that is in the file as 200.
Any ideas?
