Re: Timestamp conversion

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Art,

It appears you have a mix of 2-digit and 4-digit years. Check the 
difference in these 2 formats and their respective results:

values timestamp_format('8/9/2022 9:47','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI')

2022-08-09-09.47.00.000000


values timestamp_format('8/9/22 9:47','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI')

0022-08-09-09.47.00.000000

Documentation at 
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=functions-timestamp-format says

"A substring of the/string-expression/representing a component of adate 
ortimestamp (such as year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds) can 
include less than the maximum number of digits for that component of 
thedate ortimestamp. Any missing digits default to zero. For example, 
with a format-string of 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', an input value of 
'999-3-9 5:7:2' would produce the same result as '0999-03-09 05:07:02'."

Maybe check for the error and try the other format?
