Birgitta tantalized me a bit ago. SQL does so much so well.

So far I have not found a way to set the output format for a date.

Formatting is not the prime focus of SQL. You can do it in SQL if you
really want to, but it's a lot easier in RPG. Once you've done the
FETCH into an RPG variable, format /that/ the way you'd prefer to see
it.

If someone held a lightsabre to my head and forced me to use SQL, I'd
write a UDF. This being the RPG list, I'd probably use
LANGUAGE(RPGLE)
